Connect a Spotify artist profile

What this guide covers

Associate the correct Spotify identity with a NORTH artist record.

Artist records in NORTH help keep releases attached to the same identity. External profile IDs reduce the chance of a new release being mapped to the wrong store artist page.

Before you start

• Use the exact public artist name.
• Find the correct store artist pages before connecting IDs.
• Avoid creating duplicate NORTH artist records for the same identity.
• Know whether you are correcting a typo or performing a true artist rebrand.

Step by step

1. 01

   Open the artist in NORTH.

2. 02

   Find the external profile or platform ID section.

3. 03

   Enter the correct Spotify artist profile identifier or supported profile information.

4. 04

   Save and use that NORTH artist profile on future releases.

Check your work

• The NORTH artist name is correct.
• Connected external profile IDs belong to the intended artist.
• New releases use the existing NORTH artist record.
• Any wrong-page issue includes both the correct and incorrect store links when contacting support.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Connecting another artist’s profile ID.
• Creating a new artist record for every release.
• Changing a live artist name without planning the catalog-wide impact.
• Assuming stores identify artists by name alone.

What happens next

Reuse the same artist identity on future releases and keep external profile connections current.

If the result on screen does not match what this guide describes, stop before creating duplicate catalog records or repeating a financial action. Use the visible status and error information when contacting NORTH support.
