Artist store profile links

When you distribute through ONCE, you can provide artist page links so partners can map your release to an existing profile instead of creating a duplicate. ONCE accepts links or raw IDs for Apple Music, Spotify, SoundCloud, and Meta (Facebook).

Not supported for artist profile linking: Tidal and other stores are not in this mapping flow. Use the supported platforms below when you need an ID match.

You can paste a full URL or the ID/handle alone. The chat agent and release flow store the values with your metadata for review and distribution.

Apple Music

What to provide: the numeric Apple Music artist ID (usually at least five digits), or a URL that contains it.

Example URL

https://music.apple.com/us/artist/taylor-swift/159260351

Example ID (same artist)

159260351

Paths like /artist/<name>/<id> are common; the ID is the numeric segment at the end.

Validation: only artist page links or artist IDs are accepted. Links to songs, albums, or other Apple Music pages are rejected with guidance, so paste the link to your artist page (the one with /artist/ in the path) rather than a release link.

Spotify

What to provide: the Spotify artist ID (22-character string), a Spotify artist URL, or a spotify:artist: URI.

Example URL

https://open.spotify.com/artist/06HL4z0CvFAxG27V6Y9AhM

Example URI

spotify:artist:06HL4z0CvFAxG27V6Y9AhM

Example ID (same artist)

06HL4z0CvFAxG27V6Y9AhM

Validation: only artist page links, spotify:artist: URIs, or 22-character artist IDs are accepted. Track, album, and playlist links carry 22-character IDs too, but they don’t identify an artist page, so they are rejected with guidance to paste your artist page link (the one with /artist/ in the path) instead.

SoundCloud

What to provide: your SoundCloud profile slug (the path segment after soundcloud.com/), or the full profile URL.

Example URL

https://soundcloud.com/monstercat

Example ID / handle

monstercat

Meta (Facebook)

What to provide: your Facebook Page or profile numeric ID, or a Facebook URL that includes it. Meta artist mapping uses Facebook identifiers (not Instagram handles).

Vanity URLs alone may not yield a numeric ID; when you need a stable ID for distribution, use the numeric ID from your Page or profile.

Example URL (numeric profile)

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=20531316728

Example ID

20531316728

Example URL (Page path form)

https://www.facebook.com/pg/20531316728

Wrong or duplicate artist page? Request a fix

If your music shows up on the wrong Spotify or Apple Music page, or a store has created a duplicate page for your artist, you can ask ONCE to get it corrected:

1. Open your profile page and find the Artist Profiles section
2. Click Request a fix
3. Pick the artist and store, optionally paste a link to the correct artist page, and describe what’s wrong (for example, your releases appear on another artist’s page, or there are two pages for you)
4. Submit

Your request appears below the form with a status you can follow through each stage: Received, In review, Sent to store, and Completed. If a fix isn’t possible, the request shows that outcome along with a note explaining why.
