CTOnews.com, Oct. 10, Apple recently announced that artists and bands can now personalize their Apple Music profile pages, including customized profiles and options to add their hometown, date of birth or year of establishment, and more. Artists can also quickly add lyrics to their songs on Apple Music.

In an email announcement, Apple shared more details about personalization options and other new features added to the Apple Music for Artists platform.

Profile-Image and personality are the key to connecting with fans and attracting new listeners. The new artist profile section allows artists to control their Apple Music profiles and contact fans in their own words. Artists can answer a series of short questions, create customized biographies and display them on their Apple Music artist pages. Artists can also choose to add their hometown (or the place of origin of the band), date of birth (or year in which the band was founded), and identify band members, collaborators, influencers and pronouns.

Lyrics-lyrics have become an integral part of discoverability and listening experience. Artists can now add their lyrics and appear in Apple Music with their music so that fans can read the words behind the beat. Adding lyrics is as easy as copying and pasting formatted lyrics.

Account-Building a good team is part of any artist's success. The new permissions in the account section (previous administration) provide artists with an easy way to control who has access to their profiles so that their team can take immediate action to support the upcoming product and keep the content fresh. Artists can also assign different roles to individuals on their team, appointing administrators, analysts, and data editors.

Measurement-the insight of Apple Music for Artists is now in a single, easily accessible location, under measurement. Artists can chart their performance and monitor Apple Music playback, average daily audience, iTunes song purchases and Shazams. Intelligent insight and detailed analysis help artists plan future releases, tour dates, and other activities, such as creating merchandise.

CTOnews.com learned that Apple Music for Artists works for every artist on Apple Music and provides statistics such as the number of songs or albums played, the average daily audience, iTunes store sales, Shazam data, and so on. Artists can register an account on artists.apple.com.

The ability of artists to set up custom profiles may remind some users of Apple's fleeting social network, Ping, which was launched in 2010 and allows users to follow their favorite artists on iTunes. Ping allows artists to share status updates, photos, etc., in their profiles, but the service was suspended in 2012 due to limited usage. However, the personalized artist page launched now will be greatly limited in scope.

Recently, Apple also announced that 100 million songs on the Apple Music music platform had reached a milestone. Apple says it is more important than ever to reveal artists' voices and provide them with the opportunity to tell their stories and background their music. It is no longer enough to connect artists and fans, but to make these connections deeper and more meaningful. One of the many ways Apple can help provide background information is through the new Apple Music Today series, which will pick a new song every day and learn more about its history.
