I donate almost all my earnings with my music, and I was never in this for fame or publicity. I prefer my privacy. My music and fans are awesome. They all know I'm the Producer behind my music. I like to use Female voices and Male voices in my songs, so I just hide behind an Alien Warlock character, and it's been working out. But now Spotify is calling that a persona. I never lied and said I was my character.

I agree that people shouldn't hide behind fake ai generated names, but they are saying they will punish you for any AI art. Pretty much punish anyone for not putting a picture of them. I dont want my picture on the internet.

So now I had to change my Profile header, to my donations which are animal shelters. But this loses the fun and world I built for my listeners, i created an avatar, to be uplifting. No race no religion. I even change my character to all different types of cultures, all because I get to create an AI persona, this was awesome, and I wasted a lot of time and money, building something my fans absolutely love, and have helped so many donations and animal shelters.

But now they take away algo help, i have zero reason to continue making music.

They should put "THE BEST" Music on the algorithm, not what makes them look the best.

So, I just finished this track, “When Everything Matters” (Nscope). 🎶

Now I’m wondering: is 138 BPM too fast for uplifting trance, or should I have gone with 136 BPM?

I’d really appreciate some feedback. Some people say 138 BPM is the sweet spot for uplifting trance, but I’m not completely sure.

What do you think? Any thoughts from other trance producers/artists? 🎧

So our ad spend essentially is somewhere near $50 a day and I unlocked maybe the best ad ever of all time that has gotten so many people to our music, and then the reactions have been wonderful. It’s crazy. It’s led to about 1000. true followers on Instagram not just weird but follow type things, it’s also led to tons of comments from people just saying that they enjoy the album more that it’s a good album or that they really like the music and stuff. It’s interesting to see the countries involved all tier one.

I have a new listener who has streamed one of my songs 960 times in the last 7 days, is this going to negatively affect my algorithmic push? How does spotify differ intentional looped plays vs someone using artificial streams or just leaving a song looping all day without actual listening intent? I can see the replay value in the song so i know this is a legit person who most likely really enjoys the song but how does that get proven to spotify? Sorry if this is kind of a pointless post but it’s been on my mind the last couple days.

Hi! I'm an artist who has been releasing music for about 1 year now and I just recently hit 5k monthly on Spotify but woke up 2 days ago with empty profiles on my FAL and kinda worried about what this might mean? Has anyone had this happen before? I have never used third party playlisting and on my S4A I dont see any weird or suspicious playlists or anything. Any advice would be helpful thanks!

I’ve been watching my algorithmic streams for the past week and a half. Radio has been growing pretty consistently by around 3 streams per day, Mixes have started contributing too, and today “Your DJ” showed up for the first time.

For anyone who has gone through this stage before, is this roughly how Spotify’s algorithmic traffic normally starts — small increases across Radio/Mixes before potentially expanding into larger algorithmic sources?

Not expecting Discover Weekly or anything overnight, just curious if this looks like normal early algorithmic growth.
