Who Is SubmitHub For?
Updated
SubmitHub is for independent artists, publicists, and labels who want to get their music in front of curators — Spotify playlisters, music bloggers, and social media influencers — and for curators who want to join the platform and receive submissions. According to SubmitHub, more than one million artists, publicists, and labels have used it to get their music heard, and it works with 1,700+ quality-checked curators.
The main user groups
Independent artists
If you're a self-releasing musician without a label or PR team, SubmitHub is built for exactly that situation. You can send your songs directly to curators for review and promotion, rather than cold-emailing blogs and playlisters one by one.
Publicists
If you run PR for clients, the platform gives you a structured way to pitch multiple curators and channels from one place instead of managing separate outreach threads.
Labels
Labels promoting multiple artists can use the same submission and curator system across their roster.
Curators
SubmitHub isn't only for the people sending music. Playlisters, bloggers, and influencers can apply to become curators on the platform and receive submissions.
What you can submit to
SubmitHub's stated channels for promotion include:
- Spotify playlisters
- Music bloggers
- TikTok and Instagram influencers
- Marketplace ads and Meta ad links (via its Ads tools)
So the platform suits anyone whose goal is exposure through third-party curation and paid or organic promotion, not just playlist placement alone.
Who it's probably not for
- Artists looking for a record deal, distribution, or royalty collection — SubmitHub is a promotion and submission tool, not a label service.
- Anyone unwilling to pay for curator submissions. SubmitHub's model centers on paid submissions to curators (the site lists promotion packages and a "hire curators" option), so it's not a free-for-all pitching channel.
- Artists who want guaranteed placement. Curators review and decide; submission is a pitch, not a purchase of a spot.
