How to become a LANDR Rising Artist
Frequently
asked questions
How are LANDR Rising Artists selected?
Each month, one artist will be selected by a committee of LANDR distribution and marketing experts. We first consider the quality and creativity of your release. We also take into account your dedication to developing your music and career by looking at your socials, your artist brand and your LANDR profile. We’re looking for passion and substance—not the highest follower count.
To be considered by our committee you MUST:
- Have at least 1 live Spotify release distributed through LANDR
- Be a Spotify Verified Artist
- Complete your public LANDR profile
- Post the promolink for your chosen release in the current month’s RAI Application Feed
LANDR is committed to diversity and inclusivity and welcomes applications from artists of all backgrounds and genres.
What will my ads look like?
That depends on you! Our team takes care to ensure that your ads match your brand’s voice and tone.
Spotify currently supports image, audio and video ads. Selected artists may be asked to provide artwork, videos and recordings so our team can create a custom campaign catered to each release.
Audiences and targeting can affect where and how often ads are shown. Our team will track and optimize the ads to ensure maximum reach and impressions.

What type of releases can I promote?
Any active Spotify release distributed through LANDR is eligible. A release can be a single, an EP or an album and can include cover songs.
Can I apply more than once?
You can submit 1 release per month. This can be a single, EP or album. If you submit more than one promolink, we’ll only consider the first link as your RAI application.
If your release isn’t chosen but you still want to be considered for the following month, you will need to reapply, so be sure to bookmark this page.
