If you have released music on Spotify, you must claim your Spotify artist profile to control your presence and grow your audience.

When your music is distributed to Spotify, an artist profile is automatically created. However, you cannot edit or manage it until you claim access through Spotify for Artists.

Claiming your Spotify artist profile allows you to:

* Edit your artist bio
* Upload profile and header images
* Access streaming analytics
* Pitch songs for playlist consideration
* Manage your public artist image professionally

What is Spotify for Artists?

Spotify for Artists is Spotify’s official dashboard that gives artists access to data, profile editing tools, and playlist pitching features.

Without claiming your profile, you cannot access these tools.

Who can claim a Spotify artist profile?

* Artists who have at least one live release on Spotify
