can't find artist/album (Alter Boys - Soul Desire) in search function

[Eddie68]

is there a way to have an artist added to the Spotify library to make it available to users?

Hey @Eddie68, welcome to the Spotify Community

Content on platforms like Spotify is made available by their copyright owners.

For example, if a label decides to put some of their content on Spotify, they can choose to make it available globally (where Spotify is available) or only in certain regions.

Sometimes, a distributor might also be involved in managing where and how music is released on digital platforms.

It's solely up to the copyright owner, which could be the artist, a label, a distributor, or a media company. There is no direct process to upload content to such platforms.

An artist, if they have the rights to publish the content, can do so on platforms like Spotify through their label or a distributor.

I hope this makes things a bit clearer. For anything else, don't hesitate to reach out to the Community!
