Artist biography keeps disappearing

[ThomWim]

The band "The Jam" had a biography and artist pictures on their profile in April 2020, but now all their information has disappeared.

The artist is not verified.

Hey @ThomWim,

Thanks for the reply!

The artist biography / information is handled by the artists themselves, so if this is missing from their profile it's possible that either they personally removed it, or it was taken down since it didn't comply with the Spotify Platform Rules. Any violations of these rules will cause the bio to be removed.

Hope this clears things up. The Community is always here if there's anything else you need assistance with.
 

Cheers!

Hey @ThomWim ,

Thanks for coming to the Community.

It looks like the bio and pictures were sourced from AllMusic / Rovi. I don't know why this is no longer the case, but the artist/management/label can verify the artist profile on Spotify and then add a bio and pictures 🙂

The artist information for "Snow" and "Toya" also disappeared.

I found a few artists who are missing pictures and biographies.

Spotify usually imports its info from AllMusic.
