Amazon for Artists

Once you claim your profile, you’ll have access to streaming analytics and Alexa statistics for your music on Amazon, as well as control over your Amazon Music Artist Profile picture, background image, and more.

• Click “Get Started”
• Log in to you Amazon account
• Click on the “Claim an Artist” button in the upper right or upper left corners, and search your artist name.
• Select “Connect Via Distributor”, and link to your account.
• Done!

Beatport

Every artist can get an artist page Beatport. The requirements are basic but very important. First, the photograph MUST BE a professional artist photograph 590×404 JPG and you should also include an artist bio.

If these two requirements are met and you have music being sold on Beatport, then you’re good to go!
