We use Spotify Artist for every Artist weather your, our artist or independent. Getting your music pitched to Spotify playlists we can only pitch music that hasn't been released yet and that is how Spotify works. We recommend that we pitch all unreleased music 7 to 10 days before your song is released. This is the real way of getting your music heard and playlisted correctly.
We tell every artist if you have your own distribution you have to let us know when you are uploading a song and when it is completed uploaded, and we need to know the release date. Please keep in mind some platforms upload music right away and sportify will NOT allow those songs to be placed.
