✅ Step-by-Step Guide: How to Claim & Verify Your Apple Music Artist Profile

Step 1: Release Music Through a Distributor

Before you can get verified, you must have at least one song already on Apple Music.

Any distributor works:

• DistroKid

• TuneCore

• CDBaby

• SonoSuite

• iMPULZE RECORDS Distribution

If your music isn’t live yet, you’ll need to release it first.

Step 2: Go to “Apple Music for Artists”

Visit:
👉 https://artists.apple.com

Click “Sign Up”.

Use an Apple ID (create one if you don’t have it).

Step 3: Search for Your Artist Profile

Enter your artist name exactly as it appears on Apple Music.

Select your profile from the search results.

If your name is common (example “Justice M.” or “Mary Akam”), Apple may show multiple profiles — choose the one with your music.

Step 4: Prove That You’re the Artist

Apple will ask for verification info such as:

• Your distributor email

• Your official artist social media

• Your official website

• Links to Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter

• Your relationship to the artist (Artist/Manager/Label)

Make sure your socials clearly show that you are the artist.

Step 5: Submit Your Verification Request

Click “Request Access”.

Apple may take:

• 1–3 days for fast approval

• Up to 2 weeks in some cases

Keep an eye on your email.

Step 6: Get Full Access & Customize Your Profile

Once approved, you can:

Upload Stunning Photos

Tip: Use high-quality press photos with a clean background.

Write a Professional Bio

Share your story, style, and achievements.

Add Links

Include your:

• Instagram

• TikTok

• YouTube

This increases engagement and helps fans connect deeper with your music.
