As an artist, you’ll need to go through a digital distributor – or your label if you’re signed – to create your profile and access Spotify for Artists. The challenge is to customise your profile and then analyse the stats and tweak your profile accordingly in order to promote yourself more effectively. The app offers three types of services: your profile, your listening statistics and promotional tools. If you have created an account with a distributor like DistroKid, CD Baby or TuneCore, you gain access to Spotify for Artists through that account. If you are with a label, your manager or the label will usually handle your page.

Once you’re signed with a label or a digital distributor, you can access Spotify for Artists for free. You can’t create or edit your profile or upload your music directly as an artist you have to go through one of these intermediaries. To build its listening catalogue, Spotify partners with digital distributors and labels. ‍ What are the basics of Spotify for Artists? Ready to talk data and promotion? Let’s go!
