Why Release on Amazon Music?
Reach listeners across the Amazon ecosystem
Amazon Music connects artists with listeners across the wider Amazon ecosystem, including the Amazon Music app, Alexa-enabled devices, Fire TV, and other supported devices.
For artists distributing globally, Amazon Music provides an additional way to reach audiences beyond traditional mobile and desktop listening.
Get discovered through Alexa
Amazon Music's integration with Alexa creates a distinctive way for listeners to find and play music using voice commands.
Listeners can request specific artists, albums, songs, playlists, genres, or music for a particular mood or activity. This makes accurate artist names, song titles, and release metadata especially important when distributing music to Amazon Music.
Pitch upcoming releases
Through Amazon Music for Artists, eligible artists and their teams can pitch new releases for programming and playlist consideration.
Amazon recommends providing detailed information about the release when pitching, including the story behind the music and your promotional plans. Final placement remains subject to Amazon Music's programming decisions.
Build your artist profile
Amazon Music for Artists gives artists and their teams access to tools for managing their presence on Amazon Music.
Artists can claim their profile, update artist images, connect social accounts, and access tools designed to help manage and promote their music.
Understand your audience
Amazon Music for Artists provides performance insights including streams, listeners, playlist activity, and other audience data.
Artists can also see how listeners are discovering their music through Alexa, providing an additional perspective on how fans interact with their catalogue.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Can I upload music directly to Amazon Music?
Independent artists generally distribute music to KKBOX through a digital music distributor. Labels with a direct licensing relationship may deliver content directly using KKBOX's ingest process.
How do I claim my Amazon Music for Artists profile?
Once your music is available on Amazon Music, you can claim your artist profile through Amazon Music for Artists. You will need to verify your connection to the artist during the claim process. Once approved, you can access performance insights and artist tools.
Can I choose my Amazon Music release date and time?
Yes. When distributing your music through Euphoria, you can schedule your release for a future date and a specific time. We recommend submitting your music in advance, particularly if you plan to pitch the release or coordinate a promotional campaign around launch day.
Can I pitch my music to Amazon Music playlists?
Yes. Eligible upcoming releases can be pitched through Amazon Music for Artists, while labels and distributors may also work with Amazon Music on editorial opportunities. Pitching does not guarantee placement, as final programming decisions are made by Amazon Music.
Can I update my release after it goes live?
Yes. Supported metadata, artwork, territory, and other release updates can generally be submitted through your music distributor. If your release was distributed through Euphoria, we'll help submit supported changes to Amazon Music on your behalf.
Will changing music distributors affect my Amazon Music streams?
A correctly managed catalogue transfer can help minimise disruption. When moving your music to Euphoria, you should reuse the existing ISRCs, audio, and original release metadata wherever applicable. We recommend keeping your existing release live through your previous distributor until the replacement delivery has been processed by Amazon Music.
How does Alexa find my music on Amazon Music?
Alexa uses information from Amazon Music to respond to voice requests for artists, songs, albums, genres, playlists, and other listening requests. Accurate metadata is therefore particularly important on Amazon Music. Make sure your artist name, track title, featured artists, and other release information are entered correctly before distribution.
Does Amazon Music pay royalties? How much?
Yes. Amazon Music pays royalties to music rights holders through labels, distributors, and other licensing partners. Amazon Music does not publish a fixed per-stream royalty rate, and actual earnings vary depending on factors such as the listener's country, subscription plan, and applicable licensing agreement. If your music is distributed through Euphoria, eligible Amazon Music revenue will be included in your regular royalty reports and payouts.
