Songwriters, producers, and remixers are credited/added individually on each track.

The full names (first and last name) of each lyricist and composer are required for every track you upload. Artist names or aliases are not accepted for these roles. (Only the Producer and Remixer can be an artist/alias or a band name.)

In the example below, the whole band (The Testers) composed the music/melody together, and Juan and Lisa wrote the lyrics.

NEW: In addition to Lyricists and Composers, the digital services now require to include at least one Production and one Performing role for each track.

It's important that you only enter one name in each box and don't include any other information - for example which instrument the person is playing on the recording or which studio or company they belong to.

  • Producer = for producing the recording

  • Engineer = the same as Mixing Engineer or Mastering Engineer

  • Mastering Engineer = optimizes the final master recording to ensure it's of the highest quality.

  • Mixer or Mixing Engineer = for mixing the recording

  • Performer = choose from a list of specific performing roles to give each individual who's performed a specific instrument the proper credit such as vocals, DJ, piano. If your track is a remix and there's an original version, you may also choose "remixer" from the performer roles then add the remixer's artist name on the "Track Version"
