We're thrilled that you're interested in joining Sound as an artist!
Before uploading your first song, we’ll need to collect some information from you to verify your profile and identity. This helps us protect our community against bots and fake accounts.
To get started, sign-in to sound.xyz, tap on your avatar in the top-right corner, navigate to “For Artists”, and fill in the required fields. You must link your Instagram to apply.
⚠️ We recommend using MetaMask as your artist wallet on Sound.
What we look for in our verification:
- Social accounts that match your handle on Sound.xyz
- Links to your music (eg, Spotify, Soundcloud, Youtube, etc) on your social accounts
- At this point, we only allow music to be uploaded and not other forms of media -- like podcasts
Once you submit, we’ll review your information to verify your information. Once you’re approved, we’ll send you an email and you can upload your first release!
WARNING: If you upload any copyrighted music or infringing content that violates our Terms of Service, we will be forced to take down your song and your artist profile.

❓Why do I need to connect my social accounts?
We ask that you connect your Instagram account as an added layer of authentication. This also helps your collectors trust and verify that they're collecting from you – and not someone else pretending to be you!
❓What can I do if my application was denied?
We may have denied your application because we weren't able to verify your identity. It's important that our community trusts our verification process for artists releasing music on Sound. Please re-apply or reach out if you believe this was done in error.
