Shazam Music Distribution Explained

How will my music get discovered on Shazam?

Shazam's listening tools let new fans identify your music wherever they might be - putting your music's info right into the palms of their hands. For more tips on boosting your music’s discoverability and how to write your next hit, explore our Unsigned Advice blog for up-to-date music industry advice.

Can I see my Shazam stream stats?

On top of accessing your Analytics stats on your Ditto dashboard, you'll also be able to check out key metrics such as Shazam Insights and Top Shazams in the Overview section of your Shazam account. Here you can view detailed demographics about your listeners, as well as showing you the regions that Shazam your tracks the most.

How can I create a Shazam artist page?

Shazam is linked to Apple Music so if you select both stores when distributing with Ditto, a Shazam artist page will be created for you automatically. This will use the existing info and images from your Apple Music for Artists profile.

Can I get my lyrics on Shazam?

You can. Shazam uses Musixmatch to generate lyrics for your tracks. If you need to edit your lyrics for any reason, you'll just need to contact Musixmatch directly.

How do I add concert dates to Shazam?

To add your upcoming tour dates to your Shazam profile, you'll first need to set up an artist profile on Bandsintown. From here, you'll be able to add your dates and Shazam will take care of the rest.
