Can I change my artist name?

Unfortunately, changing an artist name after a release has been delivered to shops is no longer possible.

Here’s why:

  1. ISRC conflicts: Once a track is published, it retains the same ISRC (International Standard Recording Code). Changing the artist name associated with the same ISRC would cause conflicts in the metadata, leading to discrepancies.
  2. Inconsistent data: Not all platforms accept name change requests, and this inconsistency can result in different artist names being displayed across various platforms, which is something you want to avoid as a professional artist.
  3. Platform policies: Some platforms, like Apple Music, have explicitly stated they will not accept artist name change requests.

To maintain the integrity of your releases and ensure a professional presentation across all platforms, we recommend careful consideration before finalizing your artist name for any new releases.
