   This will be helpful for setting appointments and working with collaborators as TrackStage's features evolve.

Step Two:  Complete your Artist Information

Completing this section will allow TrackStage to autofill information to your metadata, and will connect useful widgets and features to your external artist websites.

Artist Name/Band
Enter the name you would like to default to as your Artist name. Metadata can be edited on individual tracks, so just use the name you would use most often.

Artist Email
If you prefer to use a different email when you connect to industry pros than the one associated with your TrackStage account, enter it here. Otherwise, leave this blank.

PRO Information
Enter your Performing Rights Organization (ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN, PRS, etc.) and your IPI/CAE# here to autofill this info to all your tracks.

Publishing Company
This is your personal publishing entity, not a Publisher for your individual tracks. This is your LLC, etc. that has publishing rights for your tracks when they are not signed to a library or publisher. This will autofill into your tracks when you identify them as One-Stop, as well as in the splits and rights info.

To learn more about why it's a good idea to have your own publishing entity set up, check out this article by the ever-awesome Michael Elsner.

Publishing PRO
The PRO info for your Publishing Entity. This will autofill into your tracks' splits and rights information.

Management & Label
These fields are currently not used by TrackStage, but may be in future releases.

Website, SoundCloud, Spotify, iTunes, YouTube... etc.
Entering your links here enables the QuickLinks feature in the DASHBOARD where you can pop directly over to your pages from TrackStage. In the near future, TrackStage will also use these links to amalgamate all your streaming statistics into the DASHBOARD so you can keep tabs on all your streaming platforms at a single glance.

DISCO Inbox URL
This field enables the Send to DISCO functionality in the CATALOG where you can easily upload tracks with all their tags and metadata directly to your DISCO account.

NOTE: This is not your DISCO URL, but your DISCO Inbox URL. To learn more, see the Working with DISCO tutorial.

Bio
This is not yet used by TrackStage, but likely will be in future modules, such as PITCHING. Nonetheless, it's handy to have this info in place if you need to copy it into an email to an industry professional.
