The first time you arrive we ask one thing: your **artist name**. What happens next depends on whether we already work with you.

**I'm new**
Choose **New here**. We create a fresh artist for you so you can organize your projects and, when a track is ready, send us your first release.

**Already releasing**
Choose **Already releasing** and enter the exact name your music comes out under. Our team reviews the request and links your existing catalogue, royalties and releases to your account. You get access as soon as we confirm the match.

**Why we review existing artists**
To protect everyone, we never link an existing artist automatically from a typed name. A person confirms it first. That is why an existing artist may show "pending" for a short time after you claim it.

For every release you send us, if our team accepts it you receive a contract: distribution, publishing, or both. Both is our default.
