You can get instant access to Spotify for Artists directly from your Ditto Music account.
Head to your Artist dashboard and select an Artist. Then scroll down to click Connect Your Account under Spotify for Artists and follow the instructions.
But why bother? Well, claiming your profile gives you access to loads of powerful features like editorial playlist pitching, profile management and streaming data.
You can only set up your Spotify for Artists account from your Ditto dashboard if you have provided your Spotify Artist ID on your Artist dashboard.
If you're unable to submit your ID on your Artist dashboard, just head directly to artists.spotify.com and click 'Get access'. You'll need to enter a few details to confirm who you are before you can claim your profile.
If your first-ever release is in Spotify's system but not yet live - and you want to claim your Spotify for Artist profile in advance - you'll need your Spotify URI. You can request your Spotify URI by emailing support@dittomusic.com.
