For musicians
A link in bio for musicians
A link in bio for musicians is the one line the bio will hold. It has to do the work of the poster in the van, the caption under the playlist, the story that says the single is out, and the email you send when a room asks for a date.
The poster, the caption, and the booking note
The poster taped inside the van named the date and the room. The playlist caption named the song. The story said the single was out. The booking note was a person who wrote back. A bio gives you one line for all four, so the line has to be an address. On Page, that address looks like yourspage.com/yourname.
Write it the way you would write the poster. The single, then the next room, then the shirt, then who to email. Claim your page and put the listen link where the date would sit on the paper, at eye height, before the rest of the list.
What goes on the page
Put a Spotify or Apple Music player on it for the song you want heard, then the dates, a merch link, and a booking email. Spotify, Bandcamp, Instagram, and YouTube can sit at the top as icons. A heading that says New single tells people why the player is there. Highlight the listen link so that row is the one that looks chosen.
A show is a date, a title, and a place, with a URL when the room or the ticket seller has one. Two dates are a real run. The merch link points at the table you already run, on your own site or on Bandcamp. Booking is an email, or a Calendly link if that is how you take the call. Ink is the dark theme, close to a poster printed in one color. Nine themes exist. Keep the one that looks like the sleeve.
The song stays where you released it
The file does not move here. The single stays on Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, or Bandcamp, and this page plays it or links it. You still choose the title and the cover where the service stores them. On Spotify, the music is managed in Spotify for Artists.
If the record is for sale on Bandcamp, that link is the shop. Patreon, for people who pay you each month, is the same kind of link. They leave this page to pay. We do not distribute the music, and we do not keep a copy of the file.
What you pay, and what stays off this page
You can place the player, the dates, and the links before you publish. After the URL is public, the counts are views, which block was tapped, the referrer, the country, and the device. Not names. Those counts are on analytics.
Merch, Bandcamp, Patreon, and a ticketing URL are ordinary links. Checkout stays on those sites. We do not take a cut, because we never see the payment, and we do not run a store or host a mobile app. If you need tickets sold inside the link page, that is a different product, and the comparison is Page vs Linktree. Publishing prices are on pricing.
Set up a link in bio for musicians
- Claim a name so the address can read yourspage.com/yourname once you publish.

- Add the merch link and a booking email, pick Ink if the page should be dark, and publish when you want the URL public.
Questions
What should a musician put on a link in bio?
Put the current song in a player, then the next dates, a merch link, and a booking email. Spotify, Bandcamp, Instagram, and YouTube can sit above that as icons. Lead with the listen link if that tap matters most. Each show needs a date, a title, and a place. Merch and booking are ordinary links under the shows.
Can I embed a Spotify track?
Yes. Paste a Spotify track, album, or artist URL and the player sits on the page. Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, and Apple Podcasts work the same way. The audio stays on that service. This page plays it or links it. You still name the track and choose the artwork on the service that hosts it.
Can I list show dates?
Yes. Add an events block with a date, a title, a place, and an optional URL. Two dates are enough when that is the run you have. Point the URL at the room or at whoever sells the ticket. This page lists the show and does not sell the ticket, and it never sees the payment.
Do you sell the tickets or the merch?
No. Tickets and merch are links to the site that already sells them. Bandcamp, Patreon, and a ticketing URL work the same way. Checkout stays there. We do not take a cut, because we never see the payment. We do not distribute the music, run a store, or host a mobile app.
Is there a free published page?
No. There is no free published URL. People can open the page only after you publish. Prices are on the pricing page.
What does a musician pay?
Prices are on the pricing page. Every paid plan includes the same kit, so the player, the events, and the themes do not change with the price.

A link in bio for musicians is what is left in the lot after the room goes dark: the single, the dates, the merch table, and someone who answers mail. Claim your page and tape that address where the poster used to go.
