my song goes to the same name artist but not me

I have uploaded songs from distributors to iTunes and several other music service providers. but on itunes i found an oddity that my song was entered by an artist whose name is the same as me but he is not me. I just released my first song and my name is clearly written Billy W, not using dots. and when i upload it to itunes it goes to an artist whose name is like me. how to solve it

Howdy billyw27,


You're looking for assistance with songs that are yours appearing under a different Artist name, right?


With this, you'll need to contact Apple Music for Artists Support to have this looked into and correct. For clarification, check out the following information pulled from Apple Music for Artists FAQ.


My music is missing from my Apple Music artist page, or there is music from another artist that doesn’t belong there. How can I fix this?

Albums from multiple artists can appear on the same artist page, especially if they have the same name. In these instances, the iTunes Store will either create a new page or move the album to the correct artist page. 

To correct this issue, contact us, select Artist Page Issue as the topic, and provide the following information:

* Are you approved for Apple Music for Artists? (Yes/No): 
* Artist name: 
* Links to all albums by the artist: 
* Link to the correct artist page:

To obtain links to artist pages or albums in Apple Music, click the ellipsis, click Share Album or Share Artist, then click Copy Link.


We hope that is able to help with getting you in the right place to take care of what you're experiencing.


Have a great day!
