Spotify has become one of the most powerful music streaming platforms in the world. For independent artists in India and Bangladesh, it is no longer just a global platform — it is a real opportunity to reach international listeners, build a fanbase, and generate streaming income. Every day, thousands of regional and independent musicians are growing their careers through Spotify. The best part? You do not need a major label deal, and you do not need to spend money to get your music live.
If you are an independent artist dreaming of seeing your song on Spotify, this complete guide will show you exactly how to do it — professionally, legally, and completely free — with Dream Records.
Understanding How Spotify Works for Independent Artists
One important thing every artist should understand is that Spotify does not allow direct uploads from artists. Unlike YouTube, where creators can upload content directly, Spotify works through official music distribution companies.
Why?
Because Spotify maintains strict quality standards. Every release must include:
- Proper metadata
- Correct artist credits
- High-quality audio files
- Copyright verification
- Accurate royalty tracking
Approved distributors act as the bridge between artists and streaming platforms. They ensure your music is delivered correctly, monetised properly, and reported transparently.
For independent artists in India and Bangladesh, Dream Records provides a reliable, professional, and completely free distribution solution — delivering your music not only to Spotify but also to 50+ global streaming platforms.
Why Choose Dream Records for Spotify Distribution?
At Dream Records, we focus on artist-first distribution. Our goal is simple: help independent musicians release their music globally without financial barriers.
When you distribute through Dream Records, you get:
- Free music distribution
- Delivery to Spotify and major global platforms
- Proper royalty reporting
- Fast approval and release process
- Support for regional and independent artists
- Transparent system built for Indian and Bengali musicians
Instead of juggling multiple tools or paying upfront fees, you can manage everything from one dashboard.
Step-by-Step Guide to Get Your Music on Spotify for Free
Step 1: Create Your Artist Account
Visit dreamrecords.in and register as an artist or label. The sign-up process is quick and straightforward. Whether you are a singer, rapper, producer, band, or composer, you can create your account and start uploading.
Make sure your profile information is accurate. Your artist name should match how you want it to appear on Spotify. Consistency is important for branding and discoverability.
Step 2: Prepare Your Music Properly
Before uploading, make sure your release is professionally prepared. Spotify has technical requirements that must be followed.
Here’s what you need:
1. High-Quality Audio File
- WAV format (16-bit or 24-bit recommended)
- FLAC format also accepted
- Avoid low-quality MP3 files
2. Cover Artwork
- 3000 × 3000 pixels
- JPG or PNG format
- Clear, professional design
- No blurry images
- No social media handles or unnecessary text
3. Complete Song Details (Metadata)
- Song title
- Artist name
- Featured artists (if any)
- Genre
- Language
- Release date
- Composer & lyricist credits
Incorrect spelling or missing credits can delay your release or create future royalty issues.
Taking time to prepare everything properly ensures your release goes live smoothly.
Step 3: Upload Through the Dream Records Dashboard
Once your files are ready, log in to your Dream Records dashboard.
Upload your audio and artwork, then select the platforms where you want your music to go live.
You can choose:
- Spotify
- Apple Music
- JioSaavn
- Gaana
- Wynk Music
- Instagram & Facebook Music
- And many more international platforms
Instead of uploading separately to each platform, Dream Records distributes your release everywhere at once.
Step 4: Choose a Smart Release Date
One common mistake artists make is choosing an immediate release date.
We recommend selecting a release date at least 7–10 days in advance. This gives:
- Enough time for platform review
- Better playlist pitching opportunities
- Proper global delivery
- A chance to build pre-release promotion
Planning your release properly increases your chances of success.
Step 5: Go Live and Promote
Once approved, your song goes live on Spotify globally.
Now the real work begins — promotion.
Share your Spotify link on:
- Instagram reels
- WhatsApp broadcast
- YouTube community posts
- Short-form video content
Encourage your audience to:
- Save the track
- Add it to playlists
- Share it with friends
More engagement improves Spotify’s algorithm performance and increases discoverability.
How You Earn Money from Spotify
When your song streams on Spotify, you earn streaming royalties.
These royalties are calculated based on:
- Total number of streams
- Listener location
- Subscription vs free listeners
- Overall platform revenue
Your earnings are tracked through Dream Records and paid transparently.
Beyond streaming income, being on Spotify also opens doors for:
- Playlist placements
- Algorithmic recommendations
- Live show bookings
- Brand collaborations
- Sync licensing opportunities
Spotify becomes your global digital identity as an artist.
Why Free Distribution Matters for Independent Artists
Many distribution services charge upfront fees or annual payments. For emerging artists, that becomes a barrier.
Dream Records removes that barrier.
You don’t need to pay just to make your music available worldwide. Instead, you can invest your time and energy into:
- Better production
- Stronger branding
- Audience growth
- Social media marketing
Your creativity should never be blocked by financial limitations.
