Distribute Your Music to Spotify

Spotify is the world's largest streaming platform with over 600 million listeners. ORB Entertainment delivers your release directly to Spotify, helps you claim your Spotify for Artists profile, and pays your royalties into a wallet you can withdraw in your local currency.

Why Spotify matters for independent artists

Spotify drives discovery through editorial playlists, algorithmic recommendations (Release Radar, Discover Weekly) and Spotify for Artists analytics. For Afrobeats, Amapiano and African artists, Spotify's EQUAL Africa and editorial hubs have become a primary route to a global audience.

You cannot upload directly to Spotify as an artist — you need a distributor that is approved to deliver to the platform. ORB handles that delivery, manages your metadata, and gives you the tools to grow once you're live.

How to get your music on Spotify with ORB

From signup to live on Spotify in a few simple steps:

Create your ORB account: Sign up free and complete your artist profile. Your first release is on us with the Free plan.

Upload your release: Add your audio (WAV preferred), cover art, song titles, songwriters and a release date. ORB validates your metadata so it isn't rejected.

Pick stores & submit: Select Spotify (and the other 150+ stores you want). Never blocked for funds — on paid plans you can submit on credit and pay later.

Go live & claim your profile: Your music is typically live within 7–15 days. ORB then helps you request Spotify for Artists verification so you control your profile.

What you get with ORB

100% of your royalties: On paid plans you keep every cent of your Spotify streaming royalties — ORB takes no commission on your earnings.

Spotify for Artists verification: Request the blue verified check and access to playlist pitching and analytics, managed through ORB.

Local-currency payouts: Royalties land in your ORB wallet and you withdraw to your bank in NGN, GHS, ZAR, KES, CFA and more via Paystack or Flutterwave.

Pre-save links: Generate a Spotify pre-save smart link before release day to build momentum with Release Radar.

How long does it take for my music to appear on Spotify? Most releases go live within 7–15 days. Submit at least two to three weeks before your planned release date to be eligible for pre-save and editorial playlist consideration.

Can I get verified on Spotify through ORB? Yes. Once your release is delivered, ORB helps you request Spotify for Artists verification so you can control your profile, pitch to playlists and see your audience analytics.

How do I get paid for my Spotify streams? Your Spotify royalties are collected into your ORB wallet. You can withdraw to your local bank account in your own currency through Paystack or Flutterwave — no foreign account needed.

Do I keep my royalties? On ORB paid plans you keep 100% of your streaming royalties. ORB does not take a percentage of what your music earns.
