Can I Change an Artist’s Name on Stores After Delivery?

Yes, you can change an artist's name on stores after delivery, but the process varies depending on the situation:

1. Fixing a Typo or Mistake:
   If you need to correct a typo or mistake on a recently delivered release, you can easily do so:

   • Edit the Artist's Name: Navigate to the artist section of your system and update the name.
   • Set the Release to “Edit”: Change the status of your release back to “Edit.”
   • Update the Linked Artist: Make the necessary adjustments and then “Save & Make Final” to update the stores.

2. Changing an Artist's Name on Released Content:
   If an artist wants to change their name for content that has already been released, this is generally not recommended:

   • Maintain Original Attribution: The songs were released under the artist’s original name and should remain attributed as such.
   • Use New Alias for Future Releases: We advise that the artist only use their new alias for any new releases going forward.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively manage artist name changes while maintaining the integrity of previously released content.
