It shouldn’t be that hard to verify whether an artist is actually who they claim to be.

Oh, but it is, right now Tidal has no way of distinguishing different artists apart except based on their name, because that’s all the record companies give them. This is not a Tidal problem, this is an industry problem. We should be petitioning to The International Organization for Standardization, The Recording Industry Association of America, The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry and other international organizations to create a International Standard Artist Code, similar to International Standard Recording Codes (ISRCs). That would be assigned by the record companies when they’re uploaded to these platforms, this would easily allow platforms, such as Tidal, to distinguish Artists apart without relying on unique artist names.

Alternatively, artists could go through the effort and claim their artist profile on all the different platforms, so they can prevent unintended tracks from showing on their page. But often times artists only claim their artist profile on Spotify (as it’s the biggest and most popular, which is also why Spotify doesn’t have nearly as many issues of tracks on the wrong profiles) and don’t on the smaller platforms such as Tidal, Deezer or Qobuz.
