The Profiles tab is your roster of artists Patchline is actively tracking — yours, the artists you manage, or anyone you want intelligence on.   Profile slots scale with your tier.

​
How to add an artist

The artist add flow is search-based, not URL-paste-based. You type the artist’s name, pick the right match from the results, and either claim the profile (if it’s you) or connect it (so Patchline can pull intelligence on it).
1

Open Profiles

Sidebar → Profiles → + Add artist (top right of the tab).
2

Search by artist name

Start typing — Patchline searches across the artist intelligence index and surfaces matches with profile pic, genres, country.
3

Pick the right one

Many artists share names. Pick the profile that’s actually the artist you mean. The search shows enough context (genre, country, image) to disambiguate.
4

Claim or connect

  • Claim if it’s your own artist profile. Wires it as part of your identity in Patchline — onboarding flow, dashboard cards, defaults all use this.
  • Connect if it’s an artist you want intelligence on but isn’t you. Adds it to your roster so Aria can read its streaming, audience, and momentum signal.

Intelligence pulls in the background

Patchline kicks off a background enrichment — streaming history, follower growth, top tracks, similar artists, audience demographics, engagement, health. The profile shows up immediately; the full intel populates within a couple of minutes.

​
What you get on a profile

Each connected artist surfaces a full intelligence view:
  • Overview — current snapshot
  • Trends — monthly listeners, follower growth over time
  • Top tracks — biggest tracks and what’s moving
  • Similar artists — sonic and audience peers
  • Audience — demographics, top cities, top countries
  • Engagement — fan-level signal
  • Interests — adjacent topics and brand affinity
  • Health — overall account-state signal
Click any artist row in the Profiles tab to open the full intelligence profile. See Artist intelligence profile for the deep view.

FAQ

If your artist isn’t in our intelligence index yet, you can still create a profile manually from the Profiles tab — give us your name, your Spotify (or other DSP) URL, and we’ll enrich from there.
The profile shows immediately. Full intel — streaming, audience, similar artists — populates in a couple of minutes. Aria can answer questions about the artist before enrichment fully completes; answers get sharper as the data lands.
Yes. Open the artist’s profile → remove. Frees the slot against your tier’s roster cap.
Claim marks the profile as your own identity — onboarding flow, dashboard defaults, and persona-aware copy use it. Connect adds the artist to your roster for tracking — useful when you’re a manager, label, or A&R, and for any artist who wants to do research on other artists. With the right Profiles in your roster, every artist can be their own A&R agent.
