How to Pitch Spotify Editorial Playlists as an Independent Artist

Spotify's editorial team considers unreleased music submitted through Spotify for Artists. There is no guarantee, but a good pitch costs nothing.

Before you pitch

• Distribute your track early so it appears in your Spotify for Artists account
• Submit at least a week before release, ideally earlier
• Claim and complete your artist profile, including photos and bio

Write a useful pitch

Describe the song's genre, mood, instruments and story. Mention anything that makes the release newsworthy, such as a collaboration or campaign. Be factual and brief.

Keep expectations realistic

Only one song can be pitched per release, so choose the track you believe in most. Whatever happens, keep building listeners through press, social media and smaller independent playlists.
