Artists

Artists represent the author or creator of tracks in Rebounce — as they will appear on streaming platforms or when released. Each artist lives inside a workspace, whether it's your solo work, a band, a client, or an alias.

Creating an artist

Artists live inside workspaces. Before creating an artist, make sure you have a workspace set up.

To create a new artist:

Open your workspace
Click "New artist"
Enter the artist name
Choose public or private visibility
Click "Create"

The artist appears in your workspace sidebar immediately.

Artist visibility

When you create an artist, you choose whether it's public or private. This determines who in your workspace can see the artist and its tracks.

Public artists

Public artists are visible to all workspace members. Anyone with access to your workspace can view the artist and all its tracks, upload new versions, leave comments, and see metadata.

Use public artists for:

Your main catalog or released work
Projects the whole team should see
Open collaboration within the workspace

Private artists

Private artists are only visible to workspace owners, admins, and invited collaborators. They're hidden from other workspace members.

Use private artists for:

Unreleased projects you're not ready to share
Client work that other workspace members shouldn't see
Sensitive collaborations

Managing artist collaborators

For private artists, you can invite specific workspace members to access them.

Adding collaborators to a private artist

Open the private artist
Go to artist settings
Click "Add collaborator"
Select workspace members to invite
They gain immediate access to the artist and all its tracks

Collaborators on a private artist can view, comment, and upload versions — the same as workspace members can do on public artists.

Removing collaborators

Go to artist settings
Find the collaborator in the list
Click remove
They lose access to the artist and all its tracks

Only workspace owners and admins can manage collaborators on private artists.

Changing artist visibility

You can change an artist from public to private (or vice versa) at any time.

Open the artist
Go to artist settings
Toggle "Make artist private"
Confirm the change

When you make a public artist private:

It's immediately hidden from workspace members
Only owners, admins, and invited collaborators can see it
Track collaborators (people invited directly to tracks) retain their access

When you make a private artist public:

All workspace members can see it
Existing collaborator invitations are cleared
Everyone in the workspace now has access

Artist metadata

Artists have basic fields you can edit in artist settings:

Name — the artist name (editable)
Avatar — optional image representing the artist

When you download a track from Rebounce, the artist name is automatically embedded in the file metadata — ready for distribution to streaming platforms.

Deleting an artist

Deleting an artist removes all tracks, versions, comments, and metadata permanently. This action cannot be undone.

To delete an artist:

Open the artist
Go to artist settings
Click "Delete artist"
Type "DELETE ARTIST" to confirm
Click "Delete"

Only workspace owners and admins can delete artists.

Plan limits

Each workspace has a limit on the number of artists you can create, based on your subscription plan:

Free plan — 2 artists
Creator plan — unlimited artists

If you reach your plan limit, you'll need to upgrade your workspace or delete an existing artist to create a new one. You can see your current artist count in the billing section of workspace settings.

Tips

Organize by musical identity

Create separate artists for different musical identities — one for your solo work, another for your band, a third for remix projects or client work. This keeps projects organized and makes it easier to control access.

Use private artists for client work

If you manage multiple clients in one workspace, create a private artist for each client. This ensures they only see their own tracks.

Start public, go private later

Most artists should be public by default — it makes collaboration easier. Switch to private only when you need to restrict access.

Match artist names to distribution

Use the same artist name you'll use on streaming platforms. This keeps metadata consistent when you're ready to distribute tracks.
