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.

Incorrect Examples:

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
