    Spotify Music Video availability in the United States:

    To make a music video available on Spotify in the United States, publishing rights must be fully cleared, and 100% of shares registered with the MLC (Mechanical Licensing Collective) before the video can go live in the United States.

    You must also ensure all writers for the song are listed on your video submission so they are properly credited on the music video delivery to Spotify. The writer's names must match exactly with the names registered with the MLC.

  • About You

  • Are you?*
  • No problem! Please provide the following...

  • Since you are not an audio client of Symphonic, we need to create an account for you. This account is where you will be able to check the sales from your streams and/or sales from your video distribution.

If you only intend on using Symphonic for Video Distribution, you don't have to use any of the other modules on the system and this login will only be to check video royalties.

  • IMPORTANT: Your "Account Name" should be either the Label or Artist that you are distributing a video for. Once your video is approved for distribution, we will create your account and send you a welcome email to set up your password. Please check your spam or junk folders for this email if you have not received it within 24 hours after your video approval.

    (Metadata Information)

  • (If you do not have a Video ISRC or Video UPC, write in: Symphonic Generate):

  • Is the Audio Track also distributed by Symphonic?
  • Does the music video contain EXPLICIT audio and/or video content?*
  • Is this video already released and live on any other platforms?
  • AI Generated Content Disclosure

  • To maintain transparency and uphold ethical standards, we ask clients to disclose details about AI usage in their projects prior to distribution. Whether your music video is fully AI-generated or AI-assisted, we require insight into how AI was used in the creative process. This will be a seamless and efficient part of your upload process and will ensure that together we can responsibly approach AI usage, while also being best positioned to meet requirements and regulations. AI-generated content may be refused if it is determined to be misleading - like imposing on someone else's copyright, likeness, or sound.
