A thin profile is the silent killer of submissions and bookings. Curators skip artists who look unfinished; artists skip curators who look anonymous. The good news: TrackGiant only asks for a small set of fields, and you can complete them in about ten minutes. This guide lists what to fill, what “good” looks like, and how it connects to the Getting started checklist on your dashboard.
Artists: the checklist fields
Your artist profile should answer three questions before someone hears a note: who are you, what do you make, and where are you based in the world.
Display name
Use the name you release under, not a nickname only your friends know. Consistency with Spotify, Instagram, and your press kit helps curators recognize you when the submission lands.
Bio
Three to five short sentences:
- Genre and sub-genre in plain language.
- One sentence on what you are optimizing for right now (album campaign, first EP, singles strategy).
- Optional: one credibility line (shows played, notable playlist, co-sign — keep it honest).
Avoid hype adjectives (“next big thing”). Write like a human.
Avatar
Square, well-lit face or logo. If you use a logo, make sure it reads at thumbnail size. Default gradients read as “I have not finished signup.”
Location
City and country are enough. It helps curators contextualize your scene and time zone for live sessions or calls.
Genres
Pick the smallest accurate set. “Pop, R&B, electronic” is weaker than “alt-R&B, UK garage influences.” Precision improves match quality in browse and search.
When those fields plus genres are filled, your Getting started checklist can mark the profile step complete. Then move to your first submission.
Curators: the checklist fields
Curators are judged faster than artists because the product is trust in taste. Your profile is your storefront.
Bio (the most important field)
A strong curator bio does four jobs in under 500 characters:
- Who you are — role and scene, not a resume dump.
- What you listen to — two or three specific lanes.
- What feedback feels like — tough love, A&R-style, songcraft-first, etc.
- What you will not do — optional but powerful (“no demos under 90 seconds”).

Avatar
Same rule as artists: real face or a crisp brand mark. Curators without photos convert dramatically worse.
Location
Signals time zone and scene credibility. “Los Angeles” is fine; “Los Angeles — specializing in West Coast rap” is better.
Track review price
You choose from preset price points on the platform. Start in the lower-mid range for your first month unless you already have a large off-platform audience. You can raise price after you have ratings and completed reviews. More: setting your track review price.
Turnaround
Pick 24 hours, 2–3 days, or 1 week — whatever you will actually honor most of the time. Missing your own turnaround hurts inbox health and visibility.
Settings vs. public profile
Some fields are only for you (email, password, payout accounts). The public profile is what artists see on /curator/[id] and in cards across browse. When in doubt, open your public page in an incognito window and ask: “Would I submit to this person?”
Stripe Connect (curators only)
Profile completeness gets you discovered; Stripe Connect gets you paid. You will connect bank details in settings when you are ready to withdraw — it is a one-time setup. Details: Stripe Connect guide.
After your profile is done
- Artists: choose the right curator, then write a submission that gets reviewed.
- Curators: create your first service so artists can buy more than a single review.
Ten minutes of honest writing beats an hour of tweaking fonts. Finish the profile, ship the work, iterate from real feedback.
