Artists and Artist Profiles

Artists are created automatically in your DISCO when you upload Tracks. They are pulled from the Artist field in the Track metadata. Once the Artist has been created, you can update their Artist Profile and create an Artist Page.

At a glance

You can find a list of Artists in your DISCO under Browse. The number of Tracks by that particular Artist is displayed under the Artist's name, and you can sort them alphabetically.

Managing Artists

📎 Note: If you can't find an Artist in your DISCO, ensure that the Artist's name appears in the Track metadata and is spelled correctly.

Incorrect Artist name or duplicate Artists

We rely on the Artist field in the Track metadata to create Artists in your DISCO. If the Artist name appears incorrectly, or you have multiple Artists with similar names (whose Tracks should all be under one Artist), it means that there's an error in your Track metadata.

Example
We uploaded multiple Tracks from Sugar World to our DISCO, but one of the Tracks had a typo in the Artist name. Now we have two Artists in our DISCO: Sugar World and Sugar Worlds😅.

To fix this, edit the Track information for the Track(s) with the incorrect Artist name. Update the Artist field and click the Save button.

The incorrect/duplicate Artist will no longer appear in your Artist list in your DISCO.

Managing Artist Profiles

The Artist Profiles in your DISCO are the same ones that are displayed in your DISCO Catalogs.

Editing Artist Profiles

You can edit Artist Profiles to add an Artist image and Artist bio and to Manage social links for the Artist.

  1. In your DISCO, go to Browse > Artists.
  2. Locate the Artist from the list, hover over their name, and click the pencil that appears on the right of the name to Edit profile.
  3. This will open the Manage artist page for the Artist.

Adding and updating Artist images

📎 Note: If you're adding an Artist image for the first time and notice there's already one populated in your DISCO, it's because we automatically pulled the image from your Spotify account. This happens only if the Artist name is an exact match, and there wasn't any artwork previously associated with the Artist in your DISCO.
  1. From the Manage artist page, under Artist image, click in the box to upload or remove the image. Be sure to check the Image recommendations and this article for more details.
  2. Click the green Save button.

Adding and updating Artist bios

  1. From the Manage artist page, locate the Artist bio and add your text.
  2. Click the green Save button.

Adding and updating social links

  1. From the Manage artist page, locate the Social Links section and click Manage social links.
  2.  Add or update your social links and the link to your Primary Catalog (optional).
  3. Click the green Save button.
  4. On the Manage artist page, click the green Save button.

Artist Pages

You can create an Artist Page from the Artist Profile. Visit this article for more information on Artist Pages.

Once a Page has been created for an Artist, it will appear in the Explorer once the Artist is selected from the Browse section.

The green and white star icon underneath an Artist's name indicates they have a Page.

By default, the Artist image and Artist bio from the Artist Profile will also pre-populate on any Artist Pages and Album Pages that are associated with that Artist. However, it is possible to change the image and bio for the Artist on specific Pages.
