Accurately crediting contributors on a release
Accurately crediting contributors on your release is important to ensure all songwriters and other contributors are properly recognized (and in some cases compensated directly by music platforms) for your release. For example, full first and last names for composers and lyricists makes it possible to create a Songwriter Page on Spotify.
Here are a few best practices for crediting contributors on your release:
Composers and Lyricists must be credited using their have full name (first and last name). Composer and Lyricists roles will appear as “Written By” in the track credits on Spotify.
Producers should be credited using the Producer role in Venice, not the Composer role. Producer roles will appear as “Produced by” in the track credits on Spotify
