Creating a new artist

To add a new artist to your LabelGrid catalogue, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Navigate to My Artists:

    • Go to your Catalog section in the LabelGrid dashboard.

    • In the submenu, select My Artists.

  1. Add Artist:

    • On the right-hand side, click on Add Artist. A pop-up window will appear.

General Tab:

  • Upload Artwork: Upload the artist’s avatar or profile picture.

  • Complete Artist Information:

    • Enter the artist’s name.

    • Specify the language.

    • Provide the location and artist email.

    • Input the artist's ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier).

Bio Tab:

  • Short Bio: Write a brief bio of one to three sentences.

  • Long Bio: Include a more detailed biography of any length.

Band Members tab:

  • Credit all writers and contributors associated with the artist. Each member should be entered as a separate entity, and they can have multiple roles.

Completing this information accurately allows LabelGrid to prefill any release data associated with the artist, ensuring a streamlined process for future releases. When creating a release, use the ‘Apply Autofill’ when completing track metadata. LabelGrid will populate the data automatically.

Web Presence Tab:

  • Social Media Links: Enter all relevant social media handles for the artist.

  • Streaming Platforms:

    • If the artist is already on Spotify or Apple Music, provide their profile link.

      • If yes, check the box stating, "I can provide a link."

      • If no, indicate "No, I am not on Spotify" or "No, I am not on Apple Music."

If you can provide an artist link, Spotify/Apple will attempt to match the artist to the correct profile on ingestion.

Finish:

  • After entering all the necessary information, click Finish to complete the artist creation process.
