How to get verified on Spotify & Apple Music
"Verified" really means claiming your official artist profile — it's free, 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 for free 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.

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?
We can't grant the badge — only the platforms do that — but we get your release live (the prerequisite) for free and our guide walks you through claiming. We never promise a guaranteed badge.
