Creating Your Artist Account

Creating Your Artist Account

Setting up your artist account is the first step to building your world on Lyrical Hustlers. Here's exactly what to do.

Step 1: Join the Platform

Go to the Join page and select Artist as your account type. You'll be guided through a simple signup:

• Enter your email and create a password
• Verify your email
• You'll land on the Artist Welcome page

Step 2: Complete Onboarding

After signing up, you'll go through a short onboarding flow:

1. Select your plan — Choose Free ($0) or Growth ($15/mo). You can start free and upgrade anytime.
2. Accept the terms — Review and accept the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and content ownership confirmation.
3. Set your basics — Enter your artist name, genre, and a short bio.

Step 3: Claim Your URL Slug

Your URL slug is your custom web address — for example, /artist/your-name. This is how fans find your Artist World.

• Go to Creator Studio → Your Space → Slug Manager
• Enter your desired slug (usually your artist name, lowercase, no spaces)
• The system checks availability and assigns it to you

Step 4: Upload Your Profile Photo

Your profile photo is the first thing fans see. Use a high-quality image that represents your brand — a professional headshot, album cover, or logo.

Step 5: Write Your Bio

Your bio tells your story. Keep it authentic:

• Where you're from
• Your genre and influences
• What drives your music
• What makes you different

LH AI Tip: Ask LH AI to write your bio. Just tell it your name, genre, city, and a few facts. It'll craft something professional.

Step 6: Add Social Links

Connect your Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, and other platforms. This builds trust and gives fans more ways to follow your journey.

Step 7: Publish Your First Release

An Artist World without music isn't complete. Go to Creator Studio → Create to upload your first release.

Once your Artist World is live, share the link everywhere — social media bio, email signature, everywhere.
