UPDATE: This is still an option. BUT!Unfortunately, Apple is not supporting artist name changes anymore. *They are still processing name changes but I’m hearing that it could take up to 6 months. All the other platforms are still accepting name changes.
Here is an informational link that talks about it

best video on youtube thank u so much bro. i could never figure out how to change my artist name i think it’s kinda whack that they make it so hard to do so🤷🏽♂️
No worries bra
You know what that was some good information what you said and so I subbed to your page to make it 1K, Much lover brother 😎
I APPRECIATE THAT BRA
Very nice one. Can I still have the same numbers of streams after the transfer?
Can i do this with amuse??
This video is helpful and all but what if you want to keep uploading with that same distributor will it work with the same artist name or the new one
does it change your follower count on spotify
Thanks SO much, been trying to solve this for a long time
Props for making the video, but as of 4/14/2023, this no longer works. After you enter the UPC, it loads all the song data, and the Primary Artist is UNCHANGEABLE.
Ah damn really ? Do they have a page explaining the terms or sumn ?
This is incorrect my guy. You need to enter the UPC, then SUBMIT your releases. Once you’ve submitted and had your releases taken down from your former distributer, you now can EDIT release and change artist name.
Dude... Thanks for the info!!!
This is awesome, yeah tunecore just said 'no' I don't know. I wish I'd seen this video before I took down my music and tried to upload it with a new artist name. I'm in downtime now running for almost a week, trying my second fix, switching distributors, I hope that works if not I'm doing this.
@DeuceTheTruth so is it possible to change my artist name using symphonic then go back to using my old distributor somehow?
Exactly what I did. It takes some work. But for me, an unsigned artist without a major buzz wanting to continue my catalog, it was worth it.
Can you make a part 2 explaining what you did to go back to your original distributor?
great tip bro thanks for sharing! really help
thanks dose it work if i want to change from Freddy Harry to Big-hitz Beatz or it works when your trying to change the same name eg like this from Freddy Harry to FREDDY HARRY
It works for whatever you change your name to
Currently in the process of changing my name and you made this super easy ✌🏽💎
Is this still one still up to date?
Did it work?
@@punchjjugginn Did it work?
Wat uP I Appreciate you making this video
I just subscribed
All good. Keep it up
If I’m rereleasing a song next week and I want to change my artist name for that song and others going forward, can I release the song with my new name and the same ISRC code? And then get with Symphonic to move all the other old releases to the new name?
After watching this video twice, I will tell you the easy way. "take down and add new release with new artist name" done easy😎
Wont that cause you to lose your streams ?
So does it automatically change on like Apple Music and stuff?
This is what I’m trying to find out. I have united masters and when I requested an artist name change , they told me if I do then I will have two artist profiles
Symphonic is the only distributor who will successfully change your artist name on all platforms
I have distrokid and my Apple Music is the only name change that didn’t get changed yet how long does symphonic take to actually change it the name on Apple Music?
If you apply with them and move your catalog over it’ll take 5 days at the most for Apple Music to make the change.
@@DeuceTheTruth appreciate the quick reply brodie keep grinding 🙌🏾
@@Jay2-Clean subscribe to me
What’s up Brodie.. I have the same issues with distrokid not changing my Artiste name for months now.. did you solve yours? If yes how did you do it please 🙏🏻
You’re now giving Symphonic 15% in streaming on that catalog correct?
Fuck no
@@DeuceTheTruth but aren’t they now distributing those catalogs through Symphonic?
@@BruhManHBKidP right! publishing would be lost lol
Anyone tried this recently?
thanks!
Is symphonic better then distrokid sns tunecore ?
Fxck no
After using symphonic to change my name is it possible to go back my previous distributor?
Yes sir
I went back to Tunecore after my name change
Will my previous releases still be on symphonic ?
How to change Artist picture on all music platforms at once?
Can I still do this? I read recently that Apple Music wont6 change name anymore. Please help bgrother. I have released music from multiple distributors. Going to be a big move from my end.
You should be able to do. Symphonic is still offering this service. The name change HAS to come from the distributor not you.
Did you have the starter package when u changed artist name?
Starter package?
The starter package doesn't work on the name changing,i just tried it
Thanks for this! Will it change my name on Apple Music too?
Yes sir
Symphonic Is the only distributor that will do this successfully. I’ve tried all the others
@@DeuceTheTruth Bet! I’m changing my stage name asap!
Are you required to upload audio files?
Yes
Does this retain monthly listeners?
Yes!
@@DeuceTheTruth damn good looks man appreciate u
What If im with Sony music
Does it change on UA-cam?
No you can change your username on YT anytime and it updates instantly
@@fernan4x thought if you had a verified artist account on yt you couldn’t change name
@@fernan4x I can't since I'm a verified artist
If you’re asking about if it changes on your topic channel the answer is yes!
@@4kmrii I changed mine
✊🏾
If i change my artist name do i need to create a new UA-cam for the new artist name?
Not at all
You can change your name on UA-cam yourself
@@DeuceTheTruth ok what about a Google knowledge panel will it get effected
@@DeuceTheTruth i said that because my UA-cam channel was already connected to my topic channel with the old artist name (OAC)
@@lilelvinjmusic you’re going to have to contact google knowledge panel and show them proof that your artist name was changed and they will change it. I did the same thing
did u lose your streams when you did this????
Streams will stay as long as you have the releases live in each store. Don’t submit the takedown request until your seeing your release doubled in the store or you’ve waited the time your distributor says it takes for the music to go live.
should I just have to change my artist name in one song and submit and it will change my artist name or will I have to change the name for each and every song? also how does the artist profile name changes does it happen instantly as I change the names in the songs?
Are you signed up with Tunecore?
@@DeuceTheTruthhey man, I published my music via Tunecore, can I go back to tunecore after turning to symphonic?
@@cutekittiekittie yes you can
W
Do I put my new artist name on artist name when applying?
I haven't done it but I can imagine not. I can imagine you'd have to put in the old artist name first when applying, then like he said, when the songs go live there through Symphonic, you can change the artist name to new name. Is this correct @DEUCETHETRUTH ??
???
???
Did it remove you from playlists you were on?
Yes
It's free process or purchase symphonic pack ?
Also change Instagram artist name ?
What about the artwork? Will you need to replace it?
yes you need your original artwork file. I always store mine on a hard drive
what about in "onerpm"!!!??
What about it??
@@DeuceTheTruth how to change the artist 's name in there!??
@@maligniisl I’ve never used that platform bra. You’d have to switch to Symphonicn
Nah I'm good on Symphonic terrible service
Do you know how to change your pseudonym name on bmi?
Not sure…..
Is this service free or?
No, it cost like every other distro service
@DEUCE THE TRUTH was sup bro I'm submitting my song from my TuneCore to symphonic to change my name do i put a different release date that I have on TuneCore or the same old date the song has been released through tunecore?
Same date same metadata
@@DeuceTheTruth EVERYTHING IS TOOKEN DOWN FROM MY TUNECORE BUT WHEN I EDIT MY RELEASE TO CHANGE MY NAME IT SAYS "With the Starter Plan your primary artist is automatically selected for you" DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG ?
@@PlotPicasso this is where I’m stuck. With the starter package u can only have one artist attached to it
@@BruhManHBKidP ahhhhh. When I got with Symphonic there was no starter package
If I started on tunecore is music still protected the same on symphonic?
