Why do I need my artist ID?

Music Distribution

Knowing your artist ID is vital information particularly for liaising with your distributor. If you share your ID with DistroMotion when you submit a release, we can use the ID to map your release to your existing profile on platforms, meaning all your music will display on the same page. Without it, there’s a chance your release could be sent to a newly created profile or end up on another artist’s page. If this does happen, you could miss out on streams and fan engagement, so it’s important to take the necessary steps to prevent this from happening during the submission process.
