In order to adapt to the ever-changing needs of
artists, labels and stores, we as a distritubtor have developed the
“Contributor Management”. In this tab, all contributors and their roles can be
entered together for the respective recording.
Generally, each track must have at least one main
artist, composer and songwriter. These three entries appear automatically for
each track by default and need to be filled in.
The horizontal list at the top shows all types of
contributors that can be selected, e.g. artist, feat. artist, remixer, etc.
With a click you add the entry to your track and can enter the name
afterwards. Additionally, you can link the contributors with already existing
artist profiles on Spotify and Apple Music. If you already have a profile on
both services, you can find your Artist ID by clicking on the search symbol of
each store. In order to find your Artist ID on Apple Music, a new tab in your
browser will open which will direct you to the Apple Music store. Here, you
need to search for your profile and then copy the number that shows up at the
end of the URL. Paste this number into the Artist ID field for iTunes/Apple
Music and you’re good to go. By clicking on the search for Spotify, a small
window opens in which you can select your artist profile. Attention: The spelling of the linked profiles
must match the spelling in the entry field 100%. If your artist does not have
an artist profile yet, simply select “new” and a
new profil will be created.
If a track has more than one contributor of the same type (e.g. main
artist, composer, etc.), please add the entries with a click on the respective
button. In each field you can only enter the name of one contributor. Please do
not enter several names separated with a slash – that is no longer needed. If
the artist is a compound artist (artists that only perform together, e.g.
Katrina & the Waves), please add that name in one field.
If there are two separate artists, please add a
separate entry for each of them.
Note:
Always name every artist on the track, “various artists” on track level is not
sufficient and is not accepted by the stores. Do not add additional information
like role, date, instrument, former band, etc.
The entries for composers, songwriters and arrangers
must consist of the full first and last name. Abbreviations are not permitted
here.
