Soundcheck: How to Get Your Music on Spotify

If you have ever recorded a track in your bedroom, laid down vocals over a beat, or finished a full-length album, you have probably wondered: How do I get this onto Spotify so anyone in the world can stream it?

Because Spotify doesn’t accept direct audio uploads from individual artists, getting your tracks onto the platform requires a middle step. But don’t worry—the process is straightforward, accessible, and open to any independent creator.

Step 1: Partner with a Digital Music Distributor

To bridge the gap between your computer and Spotify, you need to use a digital music distributor. Distributors act as the delivery service for streaming platforms, pushing your tracks to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, and more.
