How to Request the Separation of a Duplicate Profile on Spotify
If you discover that there is another artist profile on Spotify with the same name as yours and with your songs on their profile, you can easily request separation. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Access Spotify for Artists
First, access the Spotify for Artists platform, which is Spotify’s official tool for artists and labels. You can access it through the link. If you don’t already have a Spotify for Artists account, you can create one for free.
Step 2: Set up your Artist Page
Before requesting a duplicate profile to be removed, make sure you have your artist page set up correctly in Spotify for Artists.
This includes adding a bio, and profile picture, and linking to your social media profiles. A complete and up-to-date artist page will help you have more control over your music on Spotify.
In this tutorial on our blog we explain how to configure your profile and change your artist profile photo on Spotify, links and your biography.
Step 3: Access the Spotify Support Link
Next, access the Spotify support link to request the separation of a duplicate profile and remove songs that are not yours from your profile. The link is https://artists.spotify.com/c/content-mismatch. We recommend being logged into your Spotify for Artists account to access the link.
Step 4: Complete the Application Form
Once at the support link, complete the request form by providing the required information. As you see in the following image, select your artist name, your artist profile on Spotify, and the URL of the duplicate profile that you want to be separated. Clearly describe the problem and choose between one of the two options:
- Another artist’s music is on my profile(if there is music from other artists in our profile)
- Some of my music is on another artist’s profile(if our music has ended up on another artist’s profile)
Step 5: Submit your Request and Wait for Spotify’s Response
Once you click on “Submit” and have completed the application form, wait for Spotify’s response. The Spotify support team will review your request and will usually resolve your request and separate artist profiles within a few days.
This will allow you to continue working on promoting your music on Spotify without worrying about your followers finding songs that are not yours on your artist page.
