An artist profile on Beatmatch lets performers present themselves as a public-facing identity and share upcoming gigs with fans. Artist profiles are designed for DJs, musicians, and performers who want fans to easily discover where they’re playing next.
This article explains what an artist profile is, when to create one, and how to set it up.
What Is an Artist?
An artist is a profile that represents a performer rather than an event series or group. It is used to showcase upcoming gigs and help fans follow a specific performer.
Artist profiles can be used to:
Share upcoming shows and performances
Build a following around a performer name
Help fans discover where you’re playing next
Keep gigs separate from personal or community profiles
Fans can follow an artist profile to receive updates when new gigs are added.
When Should I Create an Artist Profile?
Creating an artist profile is a good idea if:
You perform as a DJ, musician, or live act
You want to promote your shows under a stage name
You play at multiple venues or events
You want fans to follow you as a performer rather than as an individual user
If you do not perform publicly or do not plan to promote shows, you may not need an artist profile.
How to Create an Artist
To create an artist profile on Beatmatch:
Open the Beatmatch app or visit beatmatch.app
Go to your Profile
Select Create Artist
Enter your artist details:
Artist name
Username
Description or bio
Profile image or logo
Hashtags and genres
Songs
Review your information and save
Once created, your artist profile will appear as a profile you can switch into when managing gigs.
Using an Artist Profile to Add Gigs
After creating an artist profile, you can use it to add gigs:
Switch to your artist profile
Create a new gig
Your artist profile will appear as the performer
Fans can view your upcoming gigs directly from your profile
This helps keep all of your performances organized in one place and makes it easier for fans to track where you’re playing.
Managing an Artist Profile
Artist profile creators can:
Edit the artist profile details
Add or remove gigs
Share and promote gigs
Grow a following of fans
Each person manages their artist profile using their own Beatmatch account, rather than sharing a single login.
Can I Change an Existing Gig to Use an Artist?
Yes. If a gig was created under the wrong profile, you can:
Transfer the gig to your artist profile, or
Add your artist profile as a co-host
This allows you to correct which profile represents the performance even after the gig has been published.
Tips for Artist Profiles
Use your official stage or performer name
Upload a clear profile image or logo
Write a short bio that describes your sound or style
Keep your gigs up to date so fans see your current schedule
Encourage attendees to follow your artist profile after shows
Use relevant hashtags and genres so people can discover your profile
Add your top tracks so that people learn about your original music
