Nigerian Artists Guide to Uploading Music on Streaming Platforms

The article discusses how Nigerian musicians can upload their music to major streaming platforms such as Spotify, Audiomack, and Apple Music. It highlights that artists like Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tems, and Asake have successfully made their music available globally.

Independent artists can distribute their music without a record label by using music distributors like DistroKid, TuneCore, and CD Baby for Spotify and Apple Music. Unlike Spotify, Audiomack allows direct uploads through its Creator app, making it easier for independent musicians.

Audiomack also offers a monetization program for eligible artists. Once their music is available, artists can claim their profiles on Spotify for Artists and Apple Music for Artists to monitor performance and audience engagement.

The article emphasizes the importance of having a good recording and suitable cover artwork for successful music distribution.
