Artist Roles

You can select artist roles for any and all of your tracks that we deliver to our partners.

We deliver this information on all new releases. We cannot retroactively add these roles to titles that have already been distributed.

Here is a list of artist roles and definitions:

• Primary - The main artist that is performing on the track/album.
• Featuring - The artist who is a guest feature on the track/album.
• Producer – The person/s in charge of a recording session, or the person/s who create the musical tracks that support the vocals. 
• Remixer – Someone who creates a new sound-recording by using elements from pre-existing tracks. 
• Production and Engineering  - Less commonly used credits; may not be displayed by all platforms
• Other Contributors - Less commonly used credits; may not be displayed by all platforms

Note: If you want to add the roles of Composer or Lyricist, these roles are applied to the songwriter/songwriters' names in the songwriter credits section of Track Details. For information about entering songwriter credits, see here. 

SINGLES

First, you will need to navigate to the Basic Single Information page. To do so, click directly on the release title at the top of the Title Overview page. 

On the Basic Single Information page, you will have these options:

• Primary
• Featuring
• Producer
• Remixer
• Production and Engineering 
• Other Contributors 

Clicking on either "Production and Engineering" or "Other Contributors" will also open additional options for specific roles: 

Please note: "Production and Engineering" and "Other Contributors" are optional credits, not required.

ALBUMS

On album submissions, the Basic Album Information page will allow you to enter the primary artist or artists.

You will add any additional artist roles from the Track Information page on each track.

The updated artist roles for each track will then appear on the Title Overview page under the "Tracks & Audio" section.
