You can now make those edits yourself within your Spotify for Artists account!
Previously all bios were provided to Spotify by Rovi (All Music Guide) and you needed to submit your information to their editorial team for consideration.
Now Spotify gives you a tool to change your bio whenever you like so you can speak for yourself, keep things fresh, and communicate directly with your fans about almost anything (your newest release, your career highlights, or your favorite burrito recipe).
And with a 1500 character limit, you’ve got quite a lot of space to tell your story.
Note: artist press photos will STILL be provided to Spotify by All Music, though you can always change your profile’s header image within your Spotify for Artists account.
Follow these steps and recommendations from the Spotify for Artists Blog:
One important note: If you’ve currently got a Rovi bio, once you add your own bio description, you can’t get your original Rovi bio back. As with all content, your bio needs to follow Spotify’s guidelines.
This is happy news to me, since I’ve been wanting to update my bio on Spotify for a long time (without having to go through the whole All Music submission process for a new release). Are you excited? What will you use that space to say? Let me know in the comments.
