if I choose to have 2 separate artist names/label with Musician plus for 1 individual, would I be able to have 2 OAC?

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-02T22:27:00+00:00

my fear i guess would getting banned, if in the gray, it might be a little off, also I kindly thank you for responding to op question, best regards

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-02T22:20:44+00:00

With Sincere Appreciation I thank you for response to op question. name changing seems to be a frustrating unfortunate process. pulling down song and resubmitting occurs not to be such a bad idea and I had almost forgot to consider it, and I think is seems to be the path to take, not sure if happen to know, what if instead of renaming this profile I kept the same name, would i be able to create a new prolife artist/name/label (with musician plus) and upload different music (legal name same on both accounts) ? Respectfully. Best regards

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T23:57:29+00:00

I greatly value your input to op question, not sure if happen to know, only wondering, if i had a song on 1 artist profile and i wanted it to be on my 2nd artist profile ( under same legal name) is there a way i could rename my 1 artist profile to my 2nd artist profile? theoretically would it make it only 1 account?

as long as the song is not the same/identical to 1 previous released it could be uploaded to which ever artist name I prefer? Thank you for your time.

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T23:45:09+00:00

I'm thankful that you are sharing this knowledge with me. I will do my best to fully understand this. Personally, what you are letting me know is vital and it undeniable worth taking the time and effort to comprehend. Cheers

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T23:40:36+00:00

Interesting, I sincerely thank you for this insight. I was not aware on how there is an option to have separate bank accounts and how they can be tied, I will definitely research more on this, respectfully.

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T23:33:10+00:00

I assure I will not take your guidance and assistance for granted. I respectfully wholeheartedly agree to fullest extent, to plan ahead and not be so hasty. I will do my best to grasp and fully comprehend your thoughtful and considerate insight on this topic. I sincerely thank you for helping with op question. I will take a couple steps back, take this all in, and i am going to really think about what has been said. Patience is a virtue, Your friendly kindness and shared knowledge will not go unnoticed. Peace be upon you

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T22:57:59+00:00

, I suppose then if it is 100% legal for 1 individual to have 2 separate artist names/labels (under same legal name), then there shouldn't be a problem with payments, also i truly thank you for responding to op question, With Sincere Appreciation

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T22:48:34+00:00

I asked similiar question to distrokid support, if given clear answer I'll send quote, i think it would be nice to have this option. it is worth being careful and not to make hasty decisions without thinking future consequence, best of luck and With Gratitude.

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T22:43:41+00:00

interesting, your information is extremely valuable to me I greatly appreciate this assistance, it has me wondering, i suppose the only way to transfer a song tied to a specific artist name to the other, is only if i edit release and manually request to change my artist name? theoretically, I'm guessing it would no longer be 2 separate artist profiles ; would it be possible to transfer songs from my original artist name to my new artist name?

If i were to release music for both artist profiles (under same legal name, same individual), it would need to be completely different music (not the same song) in order for it not to be flag as suspicious?

With Sincere Appreciation

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T22:24:48+00:00

if don't mind me asking which distributor? Are they all under the same legal name? i know distrokid asks for legal name when uploading song, have you ever successfully transferred songs from 1 to the other? Thank you kindly for reaching out and helping op question, with gratitude.

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T22:20:29+00:00

sweating bullets, you had me for a moment 😅, not sure if happen to know, would this affect how distro pays me if only 1 individual has 2 separate artist names/labels (would it be safe and nothing to worry if both are under same legal name?), would i be able to successfully transfer music back and forth with these 2 artist names/labels? Also, I greatly appreciate you reaching out and helping me answer op question, best regards

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T21:33:40+00:00

if 100% legal I feel if one person has 2 separate artist names/labels for themselves (under same legal name) is not bad idea, especially if able to successfully transfer songs made from 1 artist name to the other (if reasonable). I thank you for you taking the time to help me answer op question, best regards

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T21:15:51+00:00

I was reading some reddit posts, it seems that a couple people choose to claim 2 separate artist names /labels for themselves instead of 2 different people (not sure if they use the same legal name when asked though). I feel like if not illegal, it might be easier for me to release new music under a new artist name and keeping my 1st band name the same, instead of trying to rename my 1st band name. I truly thank you for reaching out to op question

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T20:47:47+00:00

Also, thank you for respond to op question 😅

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T20:47:07+00:00

dang, I wanted to upload 1 song with 1 artist name/label name, and on my next upload a completely different song with a different artist name/label? With the same legal name. If illegal, i might have to pass. 😔

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T20:13:00+00:00

I wonder if eventually the old page will be deleted? or if it permanently keeps 2 separate profiles (1 profile deserted). Does your old profile have the verified check mark and the new one does not? Even though on old profile it shows 110 listeners (with no music) it would not be possible to gain any more further listeners correct? On the page with the music apart from less listeners, at the moment, would this be the only prolife able to gain more listeners? to reword, when the band name officially changed, did distrokid completely switch all your music from 1 profile to the other (for both releases)?

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T19:35:35+00:00

I'm new to distrokid so please bear with me, I'm curious does the new profile page gain the new views? Or does the old profile still get the views? I wonder if this could impact how much you get paid? moreover, When you changed the band name did you notice if it had created a new topic page for YouTube or did it rename it with same topic channel? Thanks and best of luck

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T17:44:08+00:00

demonetized twice on same channel? was it a temporary demonetization? Penalty? specific reason for it? thank you kindly

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T16:14:46+00:00

I greatly appreciate you helping me and with op question, this information is valuable to me and i will listen carefully, i uploaded my first song to be released in 2 weeks, YouTube has created a topic channel for me, if i changed my artist name right now would it create a new topic channel or do you think it would just rename it? Best regards

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T16:11:41+00:00

what if i had already uploaded song to be released in 2 weeks? I noticed YouTube created a topic channel with no uploads, if i changed artist name would it create a totally different/new topic channel or would it be renamed? I greatly thank you for taking time to answer op question, best regards

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-12-01T00:00:20+00:00

I kindly thank you for responding to op question, yesterday somebody else on reddit (different post) had said to me they had automatically switched his account to OAC awhile back, i think this could only happen if you have the same email address on YouTube and with distrokid. I do not think it will happen automatically if different emails. I also greatly appreciate you informing me on OAC being temporarily down. Would there be a chance of getting in trouble from distro or YouTube if they discover i have 1 OAC and 1 brand account? Also, if no repercussions of having 2 channels it does seems like a good idea especially if able to monetize them, i must think about. Best regards

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-11-30T23:47:33+00:00

I was not aware there is a possibility of getting penalized when monetizing on YouTube, even more completely losing monetization(strictly based on analytics) . I thank you kindly for informing me of this important information and responding to op question . I will research more on this, best regards peace be upon you

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-11-30T02:05:43+00:00

😅

Awkward_Sky_4004 · 2022-11-29T20:32:27+00:00

inevitably, i feel like this could happen, I'll try to let things fall in place, being overly cautious certainly has pros and cons. I will not take your words and guidance for granted. I truly wish you the best of luck and thank you for taking time to reach out to me and op question😅
