Similar to platforms like Instagram and Spotify, YouTube offers artists the opportunity to verify their channel as an 'official artist channel.'
This verification not only establishes credibility and authenticity but also unlocks additional features to enhance music promotion efforts.
Official artist channels are distinguished by a small musical note displayed next to the artist's channel name. Intrigued? Keep reading to discover how you can request your own official artist channel on YouTube.
Why should I have an official artist channel?
An official artist channel offers:
- Organized content: The Official Artist Channel layout automatically organizes your discography into an album section and your Official Music Videos into a new playlist. You have the option to move, delete and re-add either of these auto-generated music sections from your channel.
- Promotional content: Choose what you want to highlight in the featured video slot.
- Fan engagement: One verified and official channel where you can directly reach and interact with your fans on YouTube.
