Unable to request artist profile

I’m the manager for my friend and they wanted me to request access to their Apple Music profile, but if i paste their link or search up their name, i’m met with no results at all. The same thing happens when i search up my own artist profile or try to paste the link for it. This happens on web browsers on Windows, macOS and the app on my iPhone.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hey zekticezy,


Let's try the following steps below:


Claim your artist page - Apple Music


How to claim your artist page in the iOS app

1. Sign in to the Apple Music for Artists app with your Apple ID. Download the Apple Music for Artists app, or create an Apple ID if you have not already.

2. Tap Request Artist Access, and copy and paste your iTunes Store artist page link to search. To find the link to your artist page, input your artist name or the name of one of your albums in the search field. You can find a link to your content or artist page in Apple Music or the iTunes Store by taking these steps:

a. Select the item, then tap the More button.
b. Choose Share, then choose Copy.
c. Paste your copied artist page or album link in the Find an Artist field of your application.

3. Select one of your albums to ensure you are claiming the correct page. You must have the primary artist role on the album to successfully claim your artist page. If you are a featured artist, you will not be able to claim the account.

4. Choose your role (Artist, Manager, or Label Rep), then fill out the requested application fields.

For faster verification, sign in to your social media or distributor accounts. The more information you provide, the easier it will be to verify your relationship to the artist.


We hope this helps!


Best regards.
