07 Feb

Have you claimed your Amazon Music for Artists profile? If not, now is the time!

The best and easiest way to keep your Amazon Music profile fresh and up-to-date is to claim it through Amazon Music for Artists. Through the app you can update your artist image, report issues with the profile, dig through your analytics and, of course, have access to their promotional tools - including the New Music Pitch Tool.

The New Music Pitch tool allows artists and their teams to submit their music directly to Amazon Music's curators for consideration, increasing the chances of being playlisted and getting their music in front of a wider audience.

The pitching tool is available to use after your new music has been delivered to Amazon Music and can be found in the "Profile & Tools" section of the Amazon Music for Artists app. Artists are able to submit one track per new release for consideration.

So how do you claim your Amazon Music for Artists profile? It's easy!

Download the Amazon Music for Artists app (available on the Apple Store and Google Play Store) or head to Amazon Music for Artists on the web. You will be directed to sign-in using an Amazon retail account. If you do not have an Amazon retail account, you will need to create one in order to continue going through the sign-up and artist claim flow.
