If this is your first release with an artist (or combination of artists), you will need to manually add them to your release. When creating a new release, choose 'Add Artists Manually' and follow these steps:
-
Display Artist: Once you have created your release, you'll be redirected to the Release Details screen. From here, click on the Display Artist field to begin adding artists at the release-level.
-
Search for an artist: Search for the individual artist you want to add to your Display Artist, then click the 'Select' button (if the artist is brand new, or does not already exist in our database, you can create a new artist). As you add artists to the release, the Display Artist section will update.
-
Assign the artist's role (optional): If you have added multiple artists, you can select their role (at least 1 artist must be assigned the Main Artist role). Artists with the most significant roles will automatically be listed first: Main Artist ➜ Featuring ➜ With ➜ Presents ➜ Versus ➜ Meets
-
Reorder the artists (optional): If you have added multiple artists with the same role to the Display Artist, you can manually reorder them (e.g. if the Main Artist is 'Chris Chambers', and 'Matt Abbott' and 'Connor Devine' are both Featuring, then you can manually reorder the two Featuring artists).
- Save your Display Artist: Once you are happy with your selections, click the 'Close' button.
