# Find Artist ID

An Artist ID is a unique identifier assigned to each artist on Digital Streaming Platforms (DSPs) to ensure releases are correctly mapped to the artist's profile. When uploading a release to platforms like SoundOn, providing your Artist ID helps maintain consistency, making sure that your music appears under the correct artist profile.

If you’ve previously released music on Spotify or Apple Music, you can enter your Artist IDs to link any new releases to your existing profile. Here’s a simple guide to finding these IDs:

#### Finding Your Spotify Artist ID

**Using the Spotify Desktop App:**

1. Search for your artist profile and click on the "..." icon beneath your artist name.
2. Choose **Share** > **Copy link to artist**.
3. Paste the link into a web browser.
4. Your Artist ID is the series of characters between `artist/` and `?`.
   * **Example**: For the link `https://open.spotify.com/artist/0C0XlULifJtAgn6ZNCW2eu?si=zCFdPLPRSsWE8XbHFQp5Tw`, the Spotify Artist ID is **0C0XlULifJtAgn6ZNCW2eu**.

**Using the Spotify Web App:**

1. Search for your artist profile.
2. Check the URL, which will begin with `https://open.spotify.com/artist/`.
3. The text following `artist/` is your Spotify Artist ID.

#### Finding Your Apple Music Artist ID

**Using the Apple Music App or Website:**

1. Search for your artist profile and click on the **Apple icon** that appears next to your artist name.
2. Select **Share** > **Copy link**.
3. Paste this link into a web browser. The numbers following your artist name in the URL are your Apple Music Artist ID.
   * **Example**: For the link `https://music.apple.com/us/artist/your-artist-name/1065981054`, the Apple Music Artist ID is **1065981054**.

If you have trouble finding your Spotify or Apple Music Artist IDs, send your artist name and screenshots of your artist pages on Spotify and Apple to support, and they will assist in retrieving your IDs.
