 What Makes a Good Spotify Bio?

It should answer three questions in under 150 words:

  1. Who are you? (genre, vibe, background)
  2. What do you sound like? (for fans of…)
  3. Why should we care? (what’s happening now?)

Think of it as your elevator pitch for the music world.


 What to Include

  • Genre and vibe (don’t make people guess)
  • Location (especially if you play live shows)
  • What your music sounds or feels like
  • Notable wins (playlists, shows, press, viral moments)
  • What’s happening now (new song, tour, collab)
  • Links or social handles (one smart link max)

Tip: You get 1500 characters. Use formatting (spaces, caps) for readability.


 What to Avoid

  • Long, vague life stories (“I started singing at 5…” = skip)
  • Generic clichés (“music is my life”)
  • Overhyped claims (“I’m the next Drake”)
  • Outdated info (old releases with no context)


 Extra Spotify Profile Tips

  • Set your Artist Pick to a current song, playlist, or link
  • Update your profile photo and header image
  • Use Spotify Clips (short vertical videos)
  • Add tour dates and merch via Songkick or Shopify
  • Customize your Canvas on each track
