How to claim my artist profile before my first release goes live on Spotify
Follow these simple steps:
Create your first release and schedule the release date at least 15 days in advance.
Now that you've scheduled your first release, submit us a support ticket asking for your "Spotify URI". If everything goes fine we can share it with you between 24 and 48 hours.
Now that you have your Spotify URI (Example: spotify:artist:5CBhpeSEhfjJJvNLmkocgQ) go to there and paste it here.
Then they ask to validate your social media accounts and that's all.
When you are verified and get access to your Spotify profile they will let you know it by email.
In addition, once you're verified on Spotify, you can:
Update your profile image through Spotify for Artists
Edit your artist biography in Spotify.
View streaming statistics for your top 200 songs.
Utilize Artist’s Pick, which allows you to:
Pin an album, song or playlist to the top of your Spotify profile.
Share your tour dates or streaming live dates.
Add custom images for Artist’s Pick featured items.
