Fix Artist Page Errors with DistroKid’s Fixer Tool

How to Fix Artist Profile Errors Using DistroKid's Fixer Tool

When your song appears on the wrong artist profile — or someone else's music shows up on yours — it doesn’t just look unprofessional. It confuses your fans, hurts your brand, and messes with your metrics.

If you're distributing through DistroKid, there's a fast, official way to fix it: the Fixer Tool.

This is your complete guide. It walks through every use case — and shows you how to protect your brand while staying eligible for royalties, playlisting, and future growth.

🔧 What Is DistroKid’s Fixer?

The Fixer (https://distrokid.com/fixer) is a self-service tool that:

  • Removes your music from the wrong artist page

  • Removes other artists’ music from your profile

  • Fixes profile mismatches on Spotify, Apple Music, and more

  • Helps lock in your correct artist URI for future releases

No third-party support tickets. No confusion. Just follow the steps below.

🧭 Which Fixer Path Should You Use?

Step 1: Check the artist page in question.

  • If the oldest release on the page is yours → someone else's music is showing on your page.

  • If the oldest release is NOT yours → your music was mapped to the wrong page.

Once you know that, use the correct section below.

✅ PATH 1: Your Music Is on the Wrong Artist Page

Use this if your release landed under someone else's profile.

Steps:

  1. Go to: https://distrokid.com/fixer

  2. Select: “My music is on the incorrect page”

  3. Choose the platform (e.g., Spotify)

  4. Select or paste the affected release

  5. Enter the incorrect artist name it’s currently tied to

  6. Say whether you already have a correct artist page:

    • “Yes” = move to your known profile

    • “No” = DistroKid will create a new one for you

  7. Click Finish

⏱️ Processing Time:

  • Spotify: ~5 business days

  • Apple Music: 7–14 business days

  • Others: Allow 1–2 weeks

✅ PATH 2: Someone Else’s Music Is on Your Profile

Use this if a stranger's release is showing up under your artist name.

Steps:

  1. Visit: https://distrokid.com/fixer

  2. Select: “Someone else’s music is incorrectly on my page”

  3. Choose the platform

  4. Paste the URL of your artist profile

  5. Paste the URLs of the releases that don’t belong to you

  6. Submit

⏱️ Processing Time: 5–10 business days

✅ PATH 3: Your Release Isn’t Showing on Your Profile

This happens most often with Spotify and Apple. You uploaded, but the release isn’t under your artist page.

Steps:

  1. Locate your Spotify URI or Apple Artist Page URL

  2. Go to: https://distrokid.com/fixer

  3. Choose: “My music is on the incorrect page”

  4. Submit your correct artist link and affected release

  5. Done

Tip: Locking in your URI prevents future mix-ups.

⚠️ Fixer Tool Limitations

  • It won’t fix song titles, credits, or lyrics — use the “Edit Release” option in DistroKid for that.

  • It can’t rename your artist identity post-release (you must re-upload).

  • No notification when the fix is complete — you must check your profile manually.

  • Each Fixer submission only applies to one service (e.g., Spotify or Apple). Submit multiple if needed.

🧰 Troubleshooting

Still broken after 2 weeks?

  • Resubmit with updated info. Make sure all links are valid.

Wrong path selected?

  • Cancel the request and start over with the correct Fixer option.

You're a featured artist, not the uploader?

  • The primary artist must submit the request through their account.

More confusion?

  • Contact DistroKid support with links to your artist profile, the wrong tracks, and what needs to change.

🔁 Final Notes

DistroKid’s Fixer isn’t just a support tool — it’s a brand protection system. Every time your name appears where it shouldn’t, you lose trust. Every time your music is invisible, you lose reach.

Use Fixer. Use it right. And if you’re building your brand the Righteous way — start with a system that gets your identity locked from day one.
