Introduction

This article explains how to locate artist identifiers for use in FUGA Next when preparing deliveries to major Digital Service Providers (DSPs). Artist identifiers help correctly link a release to the intended artist profile on each platform. Currently, FUGA supports artist identifiers for Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, and SoundCloud.

Spotify: How to Find the Spotify URI

To retrieve a Spotify Artist Identifier (Spotify URI):

1. Open the artist's page in the Spotify Desktop app.
2. Click the three dots icon next to the Follow button.
3. Hover over Share.
4. Hold Cmd + Option (Mac) or Ctrl + Alt (Windows) while hovering over Copy link to artist.
5. You will see the option change to Copy Spotify URI. Click it.
6. Paste the copied URI into FUGA Next.

Example Spotify URI:
spotify:artist:1JTD8FzXyY8Pk3lXlFIkpG

Ensure the copied value starts with spotify:artist: to confirm it is the correct format.

Apple Music: How to Find the Apple Artist Identifier

To retrieve an Apple Music Artist Identifier:

1. Open the artist's page in your browser.
2. Click Share Artist.
3. Select Copy Link.
4. From the copied URL, locate the final numeric sequence — this is the Artist Identifier.

Example Apple Music URL:
https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/palmaria/1396889855

Artist Identifier: 1396889855

Only enter the numeric identifier in FUGA Next, not the full URL.

Audiomack: How to Claim or Locate an Audiomack Profile

There are two scenarios for Audiomack:

• If the artist already has access to the Audiomack Creator Dashboard:
  1. Follow the link to your Artist ID and login to your Audiomack account.
  2. The URL will direct you to your Dashboard and show your Artist ID.
  3. Copy the ID and paste it in your distributor’s website to link your Audiomack account.
  4. You can also find your ID anytime in the top right corner of your Dashboard, under your profile name and picture
• If the artist does not have access:
  The artist can contact Audiomack to request access by emailing accountclaim@audiomack.com and including their artist profile URL.

FUGA uses the full Audiomack profile URL as the Artist Identifier.

SoundCloud: How to Locate the SoundCloud Artist Identifier

To retrieve a SoundCloud Artist Identifier:

1. Navigate to the artist's page on SoundCloud.
2. Copy the full URL.
3. The identifier is the final part of the URL after soundcloud.com/

Example SoundCloud URL:
https://soundcloud.com/palmariaofficial

Artist Identifier: palmariaofficial

Enter only the handle (e.g., palmariaofficial) in FUGA Next, not the full URL.
