Now that ChatGPT can access Spotify data to recommend, organize, and even play music directly, it’s worth understanding how this shift could impact your visibility as an artist. Here’s what this means for you, and how to take advantage of it&#8230;</p> <h2>ChatGPT Can Now Connect to Spotify! Here’s Why Artists Should Care</h2> <h3 data-start="692" data-end="728">More Ways To Get Discovered</h3> <p data-start="729" data-end="1106">Now that ChatGPT can access Spotify data to build playlists or suggest tracks, artists who have well-tagged, clearly described music have a better chance of coming up in those recommendations. For example, if a listener asks ChatGPT for “chill indie tracks with a dreamy vibe,” the AI will rely on how your music is categorized, titled, and described to decide whether to include it.</p> <p data-start="1108" data-end="1225">In other words, the clearer you define your sound, the easier it is for AI to connect you with the right listeners.</p> <h3 data-start="1227" data-end="1262">Your Metadata Matters Even More</h3> <p data-start="1263" data-end="1515">Make sure your artist bio, track descriptions, and genre tags are clear and conversational. ChatGPT pulls from the way music is described (both by Spotify and by you), so using natural, descriptive language helps the AI understand your sound.</p> <p data-start="1263" data-end="1515"><strong>Think of it like:</strong> <em>“Lo-fi bedroom pop with jazzy undertones and nostalgic lyrics”</em> instead of just <em>“#lofibeats #indiepop #sadgirl”</em>.</p> <p data-start="1641" data-end="1766">Writing like a human (not a robot hashtag generator) can make a real difference in how your music is interpreted and recommended.</p> <h3 data-start="1768" data-end="1821">Cross-Platform Consistency Boosts Visibility</h3> <p data-start="1822" data-end="2102">AI tools like ChatGPT cross-reference multiple sources. When your artist name, release info, and social handles are consistent across Spotify, Instagram, YouTube, and your distributor, it makes it easier for AI systems to connect the dots and confidently recommend your music.</p> <p data-start="2104" data-end="2331">If you’ve ever had small differences in how your artist name or metadata appears, now’s a good time to clean that up. The more connected your online presence is, the more trustworthy your data looks to recommendation systems.</p> <h3 data-start="2333" data-end="2368">Broader Reach Through Data</h3> <p data-start="2369" data-end="2679">Because ChatGPT can now connect with Spotify (by creating playlists, liking songs, and following artists), listener engagement can happen more seamlessly. That means if someone asks ChatGPT to “add this to my playlist” or “follow this artist,” those actions can directly benefit you.</p> <h3 data-start="2783" data-end="2823">A Smarter, Data-Driven Strategy</h3> <p data-start="2824" data-end="3058">Keep an eye on whether AI-powered recommendations are leading to more plays, follows, or playlist adds. If you start noticing spikes after major updates like this one, that’s a good sign your metadata and positioning are paying off.</p> <p data-start="3060" data-end="3235">Now, you can treat this as an opportunity to test what resonates. The more intentional you are about how your music is presented, the better you can align with where discovery is headed. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f9e0.png" alt=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtA7wfcBgiU Trap Nation urn:uuid:a058751e-5817-d2c9-0719-47d7cb912627 Wed, 15 Oct 2025 12:01:07 +0000 https://blog.symphonic.com/2025/10/14/symphonic-for-new-artists-the-ultimate-guide-to-getting-started/ Symphonic Distribution urn:uuid:840d7bb1-1b52-0125-a525-26d6fd4e9985 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 22:21:49 +0000 <p>The post <a href="https://blog.symphonic.com/2025/10/14/symphonic-for-new-artists-the-ultimate-guide-to-getting-started/">Symphonic for New Artists: The Ultimate Guide to Getting Started</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blog.symphonic.com">Symphonic Blog</a>.</p> <div class="wpb-content-wrapper"><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p data-start="198" data-end="447">If you’re an independent artist looking for a smarter way to release your music, you’re in the right place.

Even the “dead wax”, aka the unused portion of the disc that usually goes unnoticed, has been transformed into an integral part of the experience.</span></p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400">“As a part of our ‘make art out of everything’ ethos, we thought it’d be fun to turn even the unused parts of the record into something special,” </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">the duo explains.</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400"> “We learned how to design in stereoscopic 3D… The actual vinyl record IS the glasses.”</span></i></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The result is more than a cool collector’s item; it’s an extension of their core belief that art should live everywhere, not just in the music.</span></p> <h3><b>The DIY Creative Process</b></h3> <figure id="attachment_69102" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-69102" style="width: 316px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/munnycat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-69102" src="https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-200x300.jpg" alt="A man in glasses and a sweater poses beside a woman wearing earmuffs, a blue gingham crop top, a pink mini skirt, and white lace-up boots, both standing against a plain background." width="316" height="475" srcset="https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-200x300.jpg 200w, https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-768x1151.jpg 768w, https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-400x600.jpg 400w, https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-700x1049.jpg 700w, https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-16x24.jpg 16w, https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-24x36.jpg 24w, https://blog.symphonic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/MUNNYCAT-Doll-32x48.jpg 32w" sizes="(max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-69102" class="wp-caption-text"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/26a1.png" alt="⚡" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> @munnycat</figcaption></figure> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">That ethos runs through every aspect of <em>till death we do art</em>. The 14-track album, mastered at Abbey Road Studios, was written, produced, recorded, and engineered entirely by K808 and Khaledzou themselves. <em>No outside writers.</em> <em>No guest producers.</em> Just two artists following their instincts and pushing each other to make something bold.</span></p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400">“We’re both obsessed with making things, and obsessed with each other,”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> they explain. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">“Till death we do art isn’t just a title, it’s a vow.”</span></i></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">That obsession spills into everything they touch. From self-producing elaborate music videos (like the Red Dead Redemption-inspired visuals for “honest” or the revolution-fueled short film for “follow the leader”) to designing stereoscopic album art, every detail is built from scratch by the dynamic duo. </span></p> <h3><b>A Universe in the Making</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Alongside the vinyl,<em> till death we do art</em> is available on cassette, CD, and even minidisc. A four-part docuseries dives deeper into the making of the record, while upcoming singles like “ditto” keep expanding the universe they’re building around their art.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">And while the record itself is a huge milestone, it’s just one piece of the larger promise MUNNYCAT has made: </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">to keep creating, together, no matter what.</span></i></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">From TikTok virality to stereoscopic vinyl, from DIY videos to Grammy consideration in the Best Engineered Album category, MUNNYCAT proves again and again that independence isn’t a limitation; it’s the ultimate creative freedom. With </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">till death we do art</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">, they’ve taken that freedom to new heights, and we’re incredibly proud to have partnered with them in bringing it to life. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f4cc.png" alt=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8GrmRgCf04 Trap Nation urn:uuid:d8d794df-819e-9598-ae01-e5c6fc48a107 Fri, 10 Oct 2025 19:27:18 +0000 https://blog.symphonic.com/2025/10/10/lets-connect-at-billboard-latin-music-week-in-miami/ Symphonic Distribution urn:uuid:ac985388-41ba-5556-1db8-04268ff2af18 Fri, 10 Oct 2025 15:40:57 +0000 <p>Thinking of hitting up Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami this year?
