How do I format my artists correctly?

Label Worx uses a single artist field to allow the input of both single or multiple artists performing on a release. Artist names should be written using title casing, meaning the first letter of each word is capitalized and the rest are lower case.

Correct Examples:
Paul VanDyk
Deadmau5
Above & Beyond
Kenneth Thomas & Mike Skye

Incorrect Examples:
Paul van dyk
DEADMAU5
above & beyond
Kenneth thomas & Mike skye

You must specify an artist for the whole release, an individual artist for each of the tracks and if
required a separate remix artist. If your release contains multiple (4 or more) artists then the artist at release level should be specified as Various Artists.

If there are 3 or less primary artists at track level they should be specified at release level. Please see the below example.

Release Artist: Chris Chambers & Matt Abbott
Track 1 Artist: Chris Chambers
Track 2 Artist: Matt Abbott

Featured Artists

Featured artists should be written as part of the original artist name. During encoding we will then
automatically move the featured artist to the release name if certain stores require releases to be
supplied by that method (i.e. iTunes). To specify a featured artist please add 1 of the following control
identifiers in the artist name -

Featuring
featuring
Feat.
feat.
Ft.
ft.

Artists should not be included in track titles.

Note: iTunes and Spotify do not display releases on Featuring artists artist pages. If you would like the release to appear on the featuring artists' artist page on Spotify & iTunes we would recommend creating the artist as a Primary artist. For example:

Artist A & Artist B

Not:

Artist A feat. Artist B

Correct Examples:

Kenneth Thomas Featuring Colleen Riley- Ghosts
Kenneth Thomas Feat. Colleen Riley- Ghosts
Kenneth Thomas feat. Colleen Riley- Ghosts
Incorrect Examples :
Kenneth Thomas- Ghosts (feat. Colleen Riley)
Kenneth Thomas- Ghosts (featuring Colleen Riley)
Kenneth Thomas- ft Colleen Riley (Ghosts)
