# Profiles & roster

> Add artists to your Profiles tab by searching for them and claiming or connecting their profile. Patchline pulls real intelligence in the background — streaming, follower growth, top tracks, similar artists, audience demographics, engagement.

The **Profiles** tab is your roster of artists Patchline is actively
tracking — yours, the artists you manage, or anyone you want
intelligence on.

<TierBadge tier="all" />   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).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Profiles">
    Sidebar → **Profiles** → **+ Add artist** (top right of the tab).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search by artist name">
    Start typing — Patchline searches across the artist intelligence
    index and surfaces matches with profile pic, genres, country.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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](/artists/intelligence-profile)
for the deep view.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What if I can't find my artist in search?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How long does intelligence enrichment take?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I remove an artist later?">
    Yes. Open the artist's profile → remove. Frees the slot against
    your tier's roster cap.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the difference between Claim and Connect?">
    **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.
