In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle, discusses the rising issue of hijacked Spotify artist pages, where fake AI-generated music is appearing under artists’ names without their consent. This increasingly common problem leads to confusion for fans and potential royalty losses for artists. Miss Krystle explains how these issues often arise through fake profiles or unauthorized uploads, a situation that many independent artists are now facing. She also highlights the challenges of dealing with music distributors who don’t have systems in place to prevent these issues from happening, leaving artists to handle the aftermath on their own.
Miss Krystle shares practical advice for artists dealing with this problem, including how to report it directly to Spotify and work with distributors to resolve the issue. She also emphasizes the importance of legal protection and how artists can protect their brand and royalties when faced with impersonation or misattribution. Whether you're an emerging artist or an established name, understanding these issues and knowing the steps to take is essential in maintaining control over your music and your brand.
