Artist Verification Process
To distribute your music through SONGS, you must verify your artist profile. This ensures that your data is accurate and that royalties are correctly attributed.
Step 1 – Select Artist Type
When creating your artist profile, you will first be asked to choose between two options:
New artist: Select this if the artist has never released music on streaming platforms.
Existing artist: Choose this if the artist already has music published, especially on Spotify.
⚠️ Important: If the artist already exists on Spotify, you must select “Existing artist” and paste the artist’s Spotify URL. This is essential to ensure your future releases are correctly matched and delivered.
How to find your Spotify artist link:
Go to your artist profile on the Spotify app or website.
Click the “···” (More) button.
Select Share → Copy link to artist.
Paste the copied URL in the required field.
Once submitted, we’ll automatically retrieve:
Your artist name
Your Spotify profile picture (PFP)
You’ll then be asked to fill in the following mandatory fields:
Bio: A short description or biography of the artist
Country: The country the artist is based in
Apple Music for Artists link: If available, paste the artist’s Apple Music link to ensure proper syncing across platforms
Step 2 – Add Optional Information
You can enrich your artist profile by linking additional platforms:
Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Wikipedia, Official Website, Songkick, VK, Snapchat
These fields are optional, but recommended to improve your visibility and artist identity across platforms.
Step 3 – Verify Your Identity (Only for Existing Artists)
If you selected Existing artist, you’ll be prompted to verify your identity as the artist (or their official representative):
Copy the verification message provided by SONGS
Send that message from your artist’s official account (Instagram, X, or TikTok) directly to the official SONGS account on the same platform.
Wait for our team to review your profile
Our team will review your message and artist profile. You’ll receive an email once the profile is verified and ready for release submissions.
⚠️ Make sure the message comes directly from the artist’s profile — we can’t verify profiles through personal or unrelated accounts.
Verification usually takes 1–2 business days. You’ll receive an email confirmation once your artist is verified.
