Calling all artists! Millions of listeners visit Pandora Artist Profiles every month, so we’re very excited to share a whole bunch of improvements to Pandora AMP Artist Profiles that are designed to make life easier for you and your fans. Take a look at what’s new below!
Showcase Music and Podcasts With Spotlight Picks
Spotlight Picks are a perfect way to highlight music and podcasts to fans on your Pandora artist profile. While other music services typically only allow you to choose one item to promote, on Pandora AMP you can choose up to 10 items across a variety of content types from Pandora’s full catalog. Whether it’s a new album or single release, a curated station or playlist, or even a podcast, the spotlight section is yours to mix and match picks however you wish.
To make things even easier, you can also set start and end flight dates for your Spotlight Picks. You can do this well in advance so you can plan for your Spotlight Picks to air exactly when you prefer.
Once you’ve added Spotlight Picks, they will remain visible to fans on your profile for up to six months.
Customize Your Artist Bio
Artists have long requested the ability to write their own bios and so we're thrilled that you can now truly tell your story to fans with custom bios on your artist profile.
Beautify Your Artist Profile With a Cover Photo
In addition to your profile photo, you can now make your artist profile really pop with a high-resolution cover photo. Adding a cover photo showcases more of your personality to fans and gets people’s attention by switching your artist profile to an eye-catching new page layout for listeners.
Please note:
A cover photo can only be an image of the artist.
The expected turnaround time for bio and photo approvals is generally 1-2 days.
The user must own the license rights to upload a photo.
Visit Pandora AMP and navigate to your artist’s profile tab today to showcase music and podcasts to fans with Spotlight Picks, tell your story with a custom bio, or beautify your profile with a snazzy new cover photo.
