Metadata Consistency
Your artist name must be spelled identically — same words, same casing, same spacing — everywhere. Any variation fragments your royalties across duplicate profiles that may never get matched or paid.
Verify each account matches
0/9Rules that save royalties
- • Same casing everywhere —
Lil Example≠LIL EXAMPLE. - • Same spacing/punctuation —
D.J. Name≠DJ Name. - • Decide on features formatting once (e.g. “feat.” vs “ft.”) and keep it consistent.
- • Use your legal name consistently on registrations (PRO/MLC/SoundExchange), and your artist name consistently on release credits.
- • If a duplicate/misspelled profile already exists, contact the platform/distributor to merge or correct it.
