Deezer for Creators is a platform that artists, managers, and labels can use to claim their Deezer profile, access streaming analytics, and customize their artist page. It helps music teams manage their presence on Deezer while turning streaming data into more informed release and marketing decisions. For teams working with multiple artists, the platform also simplifies profile access and catalog oversight.

Deezer for Creators supports four account types. Each role comes with different tools and permissions, depending on how you work with the artists and releases on the platform.

• Artist: manage your own artist profile and view your streaming data

• Manager: access and manage profiles for the artists you represent

• Label: oversee multiple artists and releases from your label catalog

• Provider: manage content on behalf of distributors or service providers

Once you’ve claimed your profile, you can update key elements of your artist page, including your bio, images, and social links. You can also access detailed analytics, such as audience demographics, top-performing tracks, and geographic listening data, to better understand where your fans are and how your releases perform over time. And if you’re a label, you can use Deezer’s playlist pitching tool to submit tracks for editorial consideration.

Access and features vary by device: mobile users get on-the-go analytics, real-time updates, push notifications, and quick actions, while desktop users benefit from full platform support, including iOS/Android compatibility, regular updates, technical assistance, and user guides.

Your artist page is the first impression fans and curators have of your music, which is why it should reflect who you are and what you do. With Deezer for Creators, you can edit your bio, add a custom image, include social media links, use Deezer’s highlight feature to showcase your new releases or tracks you want to stand out, and share updates about releases, tours, or milestones.

• Your profile picture is the image that listeners will see when they find your profile. Profile pictures must be square, at least 500px x 500px. They should also be less than 3Mb. Choose something that reflects your personality and sound. Is the music fun and energetic? Choose something playful. Is it more dark? Choose something a little moodier.
• Your biography tells the story of you, your label, or your band. Help fans understand who you are, what you do, and why you do it. Do you have a recent release? Mention it. Review in a magazine? Include a few lines from that. You can write in several languages, such as English, French, Portuguese, German, and more. Also, there’s no character limit.
• After fans have discovered your music, they might want to connect. Make sure you let them know by including your social media links in your profile.

A professional and complete profile improves credibility with fans and makes your page more appealing to playlist curators and industry contacts.

Deezer for Creators gives you detailed insights into your analytics, including your audience and geographic data, so you can see who is listening to your music and where your fans are located. Fandom analytics in the Analytics tab lets you get a deeper look at your listener base, showing the overall size and engagement of your fan community. You can filter by date range, country, and listener type (subscribers or ad-supported) to see total streams and how listeners break down into categories like superfans, fans, engaged streamers, qualified streamers, and casual streamers.

Selecting a track, artist, album, or playlist in the Analytics tab lets you view detailed performance data, including streams, unique listeners, top playlists, listener locations, demographics, devices, and listening behavior. In the Charts tab, you can check your performance based on streams, and adjust the view by content type. Filters let you narrow results by country, age group, or time period (daily, weekly, or monthly), so you can track performance from different angles.

If you’re a label or manager, you can oversee multiple artists from the Deezer artist dashboard, making it easier to manage a larger roster. You can use these insights to plan marketing campaigns, tour dates, and social media promotion based on actual listener behavior. Deezer also sends weekly analytics summaries to make sure creators never miss key trends or changes in their performance.

Deezer for Creators shows which playlists your tracks are being added to, including editorial and user‑generated playlists. Monitoring these placements helps you understand which playlists and curators are driving streams and listener engagement. Strong performance in playlists can support further discovery and contribute to your overall engagement and revenue trends on the platform.

Deezer for Creators includes built-in promotional tools, such as shareable cards and smart links that you can use to highlight new releases or playlist placements across social media and other marketing channels. Deezer also supports editorial pitching through the dashboard for eligible label and provider accounts, allowing you to submit tracks for editorial playlist consideration and potentially increase exposure. Submissions must be sent at least 7 days before the release date so that Deezer’s editorial team has enough time to review. Learn more about using Deezer playlists as a marketing tool.

Before you can access Deezer for Creators, you need to have at least one release live on Deezer. Music must be delivered through a digital distributor. Once your release is available on Deezer and an artist profile exists, you’ll be able to request access to it through the Creators dashboard.

Next, select the role that best matches how you work with the artist profile. Deezer for Creators supports four account types: Artist, Manager, Label, and Provider, each with different permissions depending on whether you’re managing your own profile, representing artists, or overseeing multiple releases.

As an artist, search for the artist profile you want to claim and provide the requested information to verify your connection. This usually includes the artist name or Deezer artist ID, along with a UPC from one of the releases available on the profile.

If you’re a manager, you will be directed to the Manage your artists module upon signing in, where you can start a new request and add multiple artists by entering their Deezer Artist ID or searching their name.

If you’re a label, enter the exact label name, the distributor who delivered your release, and a UPC from that release. Each label‑distributor pair requires a separate claim, and all details must match the delivery metadata exactly. Mismatches will cause the request to fail.

After filling in the required information, submit your request for verification. Deezer will review the request, which usually takes around 1–3 business days. If you haven’t heard back after 3 business days, you can contact Deezer via its support page.

Once your request is approved and your profile is successfully claimed, you’ll be able to update your bio, images, and social links, as well as access streaming analytics and audience insights directly from the platform.
