JioSaavn
- Register on “Artist One,” an analytics tool designed for artists and artist-managers. You can do this at https://artists.jiosaavn.com/.
- Complete the registration and verification process to get your artist profile verified with a blue tick.
- With the Artist Insights dashboard, you can manage your artist profile, update artist images, share curated playlists, and gain insights into your audience.
Gaana
- Gaana has a similar concept. Visit https://artist.gaana.com/login to claim your artist page.
Resso
Step 1: Account Setup
- Download the Resso app and create a user account.
- Set up a preferred username and display picture.
Step 2: Verify Artist Profile
- Email a screenshot of your Resso user page with your username and display picture to info@jonomdigital.xyz.
- Attach a screenshot of the artist page for the same artist in the same email. This will help merge the recently created user account with the artist’s page.
- Attach one high-resolution picture of the artist to the email.
- Provide the links to the songs available on Resso or provide the names and ISRC of the songs if links are not available.
Step 3: Post-Account Verification
- Open the comment section of any of your songs and checkmark the song intro checkbox.
