Common questions
Do I need an Artist Profile to submit music?
No. Music submission is always free and separate. You just need an account. The Artist Profile is your hosted artist page — a professional presence that goes beyond a single song.
What is an Artist Pulse Report?
A personalised intelligence report showing your trending rank, engagement breakdown, and a 30-day growth roadmap based on real Local Sounds platform data. Included monthly with your Artist Profile subscription.
Do I need an Artist Profile before running an Amplified Campaign?
Yes. The Amplified Campaign takes your existing Artist Profile and pushes it to press, radio, and industry contacts. Your profile is what we promote — so it needs to be set up first.
Can I cancel my Artist Profile subscription?
Yes, at any time. Your profile page will remain active until the end of your billing period.
What are Smart Links?
A Smart Link is one fan-friendly URL per release that lists every streaming service (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp and more) and tracks every click for you. Every Artist Profile also gets an artist hub at /listen/your-name that pulls all your Smart Links, your tips and your gigs into one shareable page — replacing Linktree and Linkfire. Included with the $4.99 Artist Profile.
How many releases can I add to my Artist Profile?
As many as you like. Your profile grows with your discography. You can also highlight your latest release so it always sits at the top.
How does the Local Sounds Tips work and what does it cost?
The Local Sounds Tips is included with every Artist Profile subscription. Fans tip you directly through a secure Stripe checkout on your hosted artist page. You keep 92% of every tip — Local Sounds takes an 8% platform fee that covers Stripe processing. Payouts go straight to your Australian bank on Stripe's standard schedule. Available to artists with an Australian bank account; setup takes about 5 minutes from your dashboard.
