Tip: The Music profile view is perfect for artists who primarily create music content. It creates a cohesive, professional presentation of your work and makes it easy for listeners to explore your entire catalog. Consider organizing your tracks by creating them in the order you want them to appear, or use descriptions to guide listeners through your music journey.
