How to Request the Separation of a Duplicate Artist Profile on Spotify

If you’re an artist or a music group using Spotify to promote your music, you might find that another artist or group shares the same name as your musical project. If you’ve faced the issue of a duplicate profile on the platform and there are songs from another profile appearing on your artist page, it can be frustrating. At GuitarRec Online Recording Studio, we want to provide you with the information to resolve this, as fortunately, Spotify offers a solution to this problem. In this blog post, we’ll explain how to request the separation of a duplicate profile on Spotify and guide you through the steps and links to submit your request.

How to Request the Separation of a Duplicate Profile on Spotify

If you already know how to upload your music to Spotify and find out upon publication that there’s another artist profile on Spotify with the same name as yours and your songs on their profile, you can request the separation easily. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Access Spotify for Artists

First, log in to Spotify for Artists, Spotify’s official tool for artists and record labels. You can access it through the link. If you don’t have an account yet on Spotify for Artists, you can create one for free.

Step 2: Set Up Your Artist Page

Before requesting the separation of a duplicate profile, make sure your artist page is fully set up in Spotify for Artists. This includes adding a biography, profile image, and links to your social media profiles. A complete and updated artist page will give you greater control over your music on Spotify.

Step 3: Access Spotify Support Link

Next, access Spotify’s support link to request the separation of a duplicate profile and remove songs that aren’t yours from your profile. The link is https://artists.spotify.com/c/content-mismatch. We recommend logging into your Spotify for Artists account before accessing the link.

Step 4: Complete the Request Form

Once on the support page, complete the request form by providing the required information. As shown in the following image, select your artist name, your Spotify artist profile, and the URL of the duplicate profile you want to be separated. Clearly describe the issue and choose one of the two options:

• Another artist’s music is on my profile (if another artist’s music is on your profile)

• Some of my music is on another artist’s profile (if your music appears on another artist’s profile)

Step 5: Submit Your Request and Wait for Spotify’s Response

After clicking “Submit” and completing the request form, wait for Spotify’s response. Spotify’s support team will review your request and usually resolve it within a few days, separating the artist profiles. This will allow you to continue promoting your music on Spotify without worrying about your followers encountering songs that aren’t yours on your artist page.

Conclusion

Having a duplicate profile on Spotify can cause confusion and affect your music promotion. When distributing your songs through the best music distributors, you can usually select which artist profile they’ll appear on. However, if this common issue occurs, Spotify provides a solution through its platform for artists, Spotify for Artists, and the support link to request the separation of duplicate profiles. Follow the steps outlined to resolve this issue and gain better control over your music on Spotify.
