Prepare your master
Export the final mix as an uncompressed WAV — 24-bit / 48kHz is the delivery standard. Listen to the whole file once, start to finish, on headphones and on a phone speaker. Check the start and end for clicks, and leave no accidental silence at either end.
Artwork that passes review
Artwork requirements vary by destination. Confirm the current file, colour, text and logo rules before delivery.
Metadata & codes
Metadata is how the world finds you: artist name spelled exactly the same way every release, the real title with no decoration, the correct language and genre tags. Identifier codes — ISRC for the recording, UPC for the release — are assigned during onboarding; you do not need to buy them anywhere.
Choose your release date
Give yourself runway. A date several weeks out leaves room for review, delivery and pitching before day one. Align the date with anything you control — a video, a show, a post series — so the release lands with support rather than alone.
Apply for your invite
Mazufa is invite-only. Complete applications enter a human-review queue subject to capacity. Submitting never creates an account; approved applicants may receive a private onboarding invitation.
After approval
Once onboarded, an eligible release is prepared to current destination specifications. Available reporting depends on platform data and account access.
An ISRC identifies a recording; reporting and royalty coverage depend on each platform and agreement.
The barcode of your release — one per single, EP or album.

"Verified" really means claiming your official artist profile — it's, and you don't need a special distributor. Here's exactly how.
First: you need one release live
You can only claim a profile once you have at least one release delivered to the platform. Distribute a single with Mazufa first — then your artist profile is created automatically and you can claim it.
Claim your Spotify profile
Go to Spotify for Artists and request access to your artist name. Spotify confirms you're the right person, then you manage your profile, see stats, and pitch unreleased songs to playlist editors. The blue verified check is applied to claimed profiles in good standing.
Claim your Apple Music profile
Open Apple Music for Artists and request your profile the same way. Once approved you get analytics and can customize your artist image. No payment is ever required to claim or verify on either platform.

Distribute — Releasing is free and Mazufa takes 0% commissionFAQ
Does verification cost money?
No. Claiming and verifying your profile on Spotify for Artists and Apple Music for Artists is free. Anyone asking you to pay for a "verified badge" is a scam.
Can Mazufa verify me?
Only platforms grant verification badges. This guide explains release eligibility and the profile-claim process; acceptance remains subject to platform review.
