Getting your song onto Spotify and Apple Music is simpler than most new artists think. You cannot upload directly to those platforms yourself — you need a distributor to deliver your release for you. Here is the complete, no-jargon process.
Spotify, Apple Music and the other major stores only accept music through approved distributors. A distributor handles delivery, quality checks and royalty collection. With Mazufa Records this is free, and a single upload goes to 150+ stores at once — not just Spotify and Apple.
Export a high-quality WAV (16-bit/44.1kHz or higher). Good loudness and clean mastering help your track sit well next to professional releases.
Use a 3000×3000 px square JPG/PNG with no website addresses, social handles or store logos — those get releases rejected.
Title, primary artist, features, songwriters, genre and language. This is how listeners and algorithms find you.
Link Spotify for Artists and Apple Music for Artists so streams credit your verified profile and you unlock analytics and playlist pitching.
Pick a date a few weeks out, then pitch your song to Spotify editorial through Spotify for Artists before it goes live.
Delivery to Spotify and Apple Music typically completes within a few days, which is why scheduling ahead matters. Track everything from your dashboard once live.
With Mazufa Records, nothing. No upload fee, no annual fee, and you keep 100% of your royalties. Compare the options in our guide to free vs paid distribution, or read the FAQ.
