Music streaming service TIDAL has announced TIDAL Artist Home, a new feature that allows artists to have access to controlling how fans see their TIDAL profile, among other functionalities. I’ve personally been waiting for this functionality for years as an artist/producer myself.

“TIDAL Artist Home is the beginning of a platform that gives artists and their teams back more time, energy, and resources to focus on their art and make a sustainable living from it. This is the foundation for a future in which streaming is one of many ways we’re supporting artists.” — Agustina Sacerdote, Global Head of Product at TIDAL

Through TIDAL Artist Home, artists can also update social media links to help their TIDAL listeners become followers and request content updates to media like albums, EPs, and Singles directly to TIDAL’s Content Operations. As artists grow, they will be able to get help by extending access to their TIDAL Artist Home account to their teams.

Whether it’s managers, labels, bandmates, or publicists, an artist can assign roles and access to team members and give them access to their profiles. I find this a super game changer, as Tidal is one of the highest-paying streaming services for music creators.

Conclusion

The music streaming platform says the new tool grants artists control over their TIDAL profiles while providing early access to new products and resources tailored to their needs.

So what are your thoughts on this? I feel the company should have been focusing on making this accessible to independent artists. Moreover, it could be the pressure of competition it has been facing with other streaming companies such as Spotify, Amazon, and Soundcloud.

Here is a collection of my beats you can download with leasing rights and exclusive rights. Everything is instantly downloadable after purchase too!

What are split sheets? A document that records you & cowriters’ shares of a song you write & keeps track of publishing/contact info so when someone wants to cut your written song, you all get paid correctly!
