Whose name appears on the stores?
Section titled “Whose name appears on the stores?”A common question before you distribute: does LabelGrid’s name show up on your release pages? No — your music is presented under your own label and artist names, not LabelGrid’s.
- Your label/imprint name is the label shown on the DSP. The label you choose for a release appears as that release’s label on Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms, and in the ℗ (P-line) and © (C-line) copyright credits — for example
℗ 2026 Your Label Name. LabelGrid never substitutes its own name here. See Managing Labels for how P-lines and C-lines are set. - Your artist names appear as the artists. The main and featured artists you set on each track are what listeners see on the platform.
- LabelGrid is the delivering distributor. Behind the scenes, LabelGrid is the distributor that delivers your release to each store. Where a platform surfaces a “provided by” or distributor field, it identifies the distributor that delivered the release — for standard accounts, that’s LabelGrid. This does not change the label, artist, or copyright credits your fans see.
