Hi @Sweeneynorakate 👋! Independent Artists are a hugely important part of Pandora. To that end, our Indie Submissions process is designed to help you easily get your content spinning on Pandora. You can log into Pandora AMP to submit your content for consideration on Pandora here. In order to submit content for review through the Indie Submissions tool, we kindly ask that you ensure the following steps have been taken for the release(s) you would like to submit to Pandora: The release has been distributed to Pandora via a digital aggregator (e.g. Tunecore, Distrokid, CD Baby, etc.). U.S. streaming rights were granted to Pandora. The release is not a pre-release (i.e. the submission has already been released). For more information about submitting your content through Pandora AMP, please check out this page of the AMP Playbook.

Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone is having a great summer and staying cool! We invite you to join our upcoming Pandora For Creators: An Introduction to AMP Webinar on Wednesday, 07/05/23 at 11:00 AM Pacific. This webinar is geared toward new AMP users (or lapsed users who need a refresher) and includes a complete demonstration and walkthrough of all the various AMP tools, as well as an extensive Q&A session. On top of that, we’ll be offering an optional, extended, free-form discussion after the webinar, where members of our Creator team will be on hand to answer even more of your questions, AMP and otherwise. You can register for the webinar here. The webinars are a great way to connect with the Creator team at Pandora and to learn all about AMP, or to just fill in any gaps in your AMP knowledge. And if you’re new to AMP, you’ll be able to use everything you learn right away. Thanks as always for being a part of our AMP community. Hoping to see a bunch of you at the Pandora For Creators: An Introduction to AMP Webinar on Wednesday, 07/05/23 at 11:00 AM Pacific. Cheers, Andee & the Creator Team Pandora SXM

Ever since Pandora Stories launched in 2019, select verified artists like John Mayer, Maren Morris, Chris Isaak, and Lance Allen, as well as verified labels like Smithsonian Folkways, Sub Pop, Yep Roc and Hollywood Records, have all been using AMP’s Pandora Stories, to craft hosted playlists and mixtapes on Pandora. Pandora Stories have quickly become one of the most popular tools in our AMP creator toolset. Whether promoting a new release or guiding fans through your catalog, Pandora Stories are a unique and highly personal way to engage with listeners and personalize your music by sharing anecdotes about your music and telling those stories in your own voice. Today, we’re opening up these powerful curation tools so that all verified artist profiles in AMP will have access to Pandora Stories and the ability to curate playlists and mixtapes, with the option of adding a voice component to both listener formats – giving more meaning, heart, and insight into your fans' favorite music. Whether you choose to make a playlist (a sequenced mix) or a mixtape (a shuffled, radio-like lean-back experience), both allow you to craft unique programs to share with your fans. What was it like recording your most recent record? What artists have influenced your sound the most? Who are some of your current favorite artists? In addition to your own music, Pandora Stories gives you access to all of the music on Pandora, and allows you the creativity and freedom to build and share whatever kind of program you can dream up. In addition to having the Programs tab available in every artist’s AMP profile, which is where Pandora Stories are created, these programs will also be visible to listeners in a new dedicated section of each artist’s page on Pandora: Within AMP, artists will be able to view in-depth performance metrics (top-level and track-level) for each and every program they create. “We use Pandora Stories for our artists who want to give fans a deeper look into their work and build up that personal connection. Whether it's a specially curated playlist for current favorites or a track-by-track commentary on their latest release, we love that we can give artists the freedom to elaborate on their art however they please and speak directly to their fanbase.” - Diana Buchert, Nettwerk Music Group Since the launch of Pandora Stories, artists and labels have created tens of thousands of programs, resulting in nearly TWO BILLION spins! Check out some of our favorite Pandora Stories of the past below: The World Is In Your Way: The Story Of CAVE IN BUN E CARLOS On Jimi Hendrix Third Man Records: Ben Blackwell and Jim Fishel on Ann Arbor Blues Festival 1969 Halloween with ALICE COOPER MAREN MORRIS on her new album GIRL KENNY LOGGINS: Behind the Hits Visit AMP today to create your own Pandora Stories for your listeners to enjoy. We’re excited to see what you’ll come up with! Thank you so much for being a part of our Pandora AMP community.

AMP Support Update 6/20/23 We identified and fixed an issue that affected Pandora AMP data. Certain data from 5/24-6/4 may not be accurate. Your Pandora AMP data should now be updating moving forward. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

JohnVPandora · ‎06-05-2023

@MisterBill593 Thanks for reaching out. Our engineering team is aware of this issue and working on it. We do not have an ETA for a fix at the moment. Rest assured, we are working on this. Thanks for being a part of Pandora!

JohnVPandora · ‎05-30-2023

@blegrand Hi there! To gain access to your artist’s profile, you can log into Pandora AMP here and fill out the form. Please allow a bit of time for us to help process your AMP claim. If you have any trouble submitting a claim for your artist profile through Pandora AMP, please email us at amp-support@pandora.com for further assistance.

JohnVPandora · ‎04-07-2023

Hey @greezybillion! The music on Pandora is played as it was delivered to us by your distributor or artist aggregator. We do not edit the audio quality for music on Pandora. If your song sounds quiet on Pandora, we recommend working with your distributor or artist aggregator to see if they can re-deliver this music with updated audio that is louder. Once they've re-delivered this music, feel free to reach out to us at amp-support@pandora.com and we'll be happy to see if we've received the updated version of this song with the new audio. Let me know if you have any questions!

JohnVPandora · ‎04-07-2023

Hi @Josephine ! I am not seeing any artist profiles for the artist name Josephine Bohlen on Pandora. If you are looking to add your music to Pandora, you can log into Pandora AMP to submit your content for consideration on Pandora here. In order to submit content for review through the Indie Submissions tool, we kindly ask that you ensure the following steps have been taken for the release(s) you would like to submit to Pandora: The release has been distributed to Pandora via a digital aggregator (e.g. Tunecore, Distrokid, CD Baby, etc.). U.S. streaming rights were granted to Pandora. The release is not a pre-release (i.e. the submission has already been released). For more information about submitting your content through Pandora AMP, please check out this page of the AMP Playbook.

@heety44 When you set up an Artist Audio Message, you can select where you would like the message to be delivered with your content. With that being said, this message will not be delivered every time that selected delivery option streams on Pandora. For more information on how Artist Audio Messages are delivered to listeners, please check out this page of the AMP Playbook: https://www.ampplaybook.com/artist-affinity-score-one-sheet

JohnVPandora · ‎04-05-2023

Hi @heety44 ! I am happy to help with this! Could you please explain your question a bit more to me? In the meantime, since you've reached out about Featured Tracks, please check out this page of the AMP Playbook about Featured Tracks here.

JohnVPandora · ‎04-05-2023

Hi @itsscorchd - We are best equipped to help you with catalog-related issues via email at amp-support@pandora.com. I've escalated your question to an email thread. Our team will be getting in touch with you shortly to make sure your music is available with one artist profile on Pandora. Thanks!

JohnVPandora · ‎04-03-2023

@EddyHerier Though it sounds like some of your music may no longer be eligible to set up Featured Tracks for, you can still use a number of other AMP features to promote your music on Pandora. One idea is to set up an Artist Audio Message to encourage listeners to start stations for specific songs, as well as Thumb Up those songs. You can set up multiple messages with different delivery types (before and after specific songs or before and after any of your songs) for different opportunities for your listeners to hear these campaigns. You can also get direct links to your individual songs on Pandora from your Catalog Tab with your AMP dashboard. These links can be shared with your fans on your website and social media to encourage them to stream your music on Pandora. Using these AMP resources will help listeners give Pandora more input about your music. The more feedback from listeners Pandora receives, the better!

JohnVPandora · ‎04-03-2023

@LostBoyBam Welcome! Thank you for sharing your music and positive thoughts with the community!

JohnVPandora · ‎03-31-2023

I always find checking out interviews with other artists I like about how they make their music as a great way to learn tips and tricks for making my own art.

JohnVPandora · ‎03-31-2023

Thanks for sharing those thoughts, @Captainsteve82 ! Music has such a great power in helping us get through tough times ❤️

JohnVPandora · ‎03-31-2023
