How to get your music on Spotify.

Before you upload

Have these ready

• A finished, mixed and mastered WAV file.
• Square cover art, 3000 x 3000 pixels is the safe size.
• Song title, artist name and every writer’s name.
• A signed split sheet if more than one person wrote it.
• An honest label: Human, AI-assisted or Fully AI.

Questions

Quick answers

Can I upload music to Spotify myself? Not directly. Spotify takes new music from distributors, so you release through a distribution service like plai.

How long does it take? Plan on a few weeks before your release date. That leaves time for store review and for pitching your song to Spotify editors from Spotify for Artists.

Can AI-assisted songs go on Spotify? Yes, if you own the rights and label it honestly. Stores are tightening rules on fully AI and spam uploads, so clear credits matter.
