How To Verify Spotify Artist Profile, Getting verified on Spotify is easy when you use DistroKid and takes less than a minute.
It also has a lot more opportunities than a pretty blue tick next to your name. More than just legitimizing your profile in the eyes of fans and listeners, claiming your Spotify profile and becoming verified allows you to unlock some extremely valuable features to help market and promote your music on the platform!
And it turns out that it’s incredibly easy to do! As a result, we’ve broken everything down into a number of brief stages for you.
Use DistroKid Verify Spotify Artist Profile
To get instantly verified on Spotify:
-
- Sign into DistroKid
- Click “Goodies” in the upper right
- Click “Special Access”
- Click “Spotify for Artists” and follow the instructions.
Verification also gives you access to “Spotify for Artists” which is Spotify’s app that offers:
-
- Stats you can’t get anywhere else
-
- The ability to update your Spotify artist pic & bio
-
- Access to the Spotify team to answer your questions
-
- A blue verified checkmark
FYI, it can take up to a week or so once your first DistroKid upload is live in Spotify before your release is fully processed and recognized in the system to be able to verify your artist page. If you see a message that says “Looks like you don’t have anything live in Spotify (or we haven’t detected it yet),” check back in 24-48 hours or so.
If you need to get verified before your first release goes live, you can look up your Spotify Artist URI here, so you can verify directly with Spotify the old fashioned way.
