Professional Credits

Professional Credits let you showcase songs and albums you’ve worked on from Spotify directly on your BeatPass producer profile. Whether you’ve produced, mixed, mastered, or contributed to other artists’ projects, credits help establish your credibility and build your professional portfolio.

​
What Are Credits?

Credits are a way to highlight your production work beyond the beats you sell on BeatPass. They link to real releases on Spotify, giving visitors proof of your professional experience. Credits can showcase your role as:
Role CategoryExample Roles
ProductionProducer, Co-Producer, Beat Maker
EngineeringMixing Engineer, Mastering Engineer, Recording Engineer
WritingSongwriter, Composer, Arranger
PerformanceFeatured Artist, Vocalist, Musician
OtherExecutive Producer, A&R, Creative Director
Credits appear in the Credits tab on your producer profile. Visitors can filter by role to see specific contributions.

​
Adding Your First Credit

1

Go to Your Artist Edit Page

Navigate to your producer profile and click Edit, or access your artist settings through the admin panel.
2

Open the Credits Tab

In the artist editor, you’ll see tabs for Details, Links, Biography, Images, and Credits. Click the Credits tab to access your credits management.
The Credits tab only appears for existing artist profiles. If you’re creating a new artist, save it first, then return to add credits.
3

Click Add Credit

You’ll see a “Your Credits” section with a description and an Add Credit button. Click it to open the credit search dialog.
4

Search Spotify

At the top of the dialog, toggle between Songs and Albums to select what you’re searching for. Type the song or album name in the search field—results appear as you type.
Results show the cover art, title, artist, release year, and type. If you’ve already added roles for an item, you’ll see a badge indicating how many roles are added.
5

Select Your Roles

After selecting a song, you’ll see the “Select Your Roles” screen. Roles are organized by category (Production, Engineering, Writing, Performance, Other). Click any role to select it—selected roles turn highlighted.You can select multiple roles for each credit. For example, if you both produced and mixed a track, select both “Producer” and “Mixing Engineer.” Roles you’ve already added appear crossed out and disabled.
6

Confirm and Add

Click Add X Credits (where X is the number of roles selected) to save. The credit will now appear in your credits list.

​
Adding an Entire Album

When you add an album as a credit, you can customize your role for each individual track. This is perfect when you’ve worked on multiple songs from the same project with different contributions.
1

Search for the Album

In the Add Credit dialog, click the Albums toggle at the top, then search for the project name.
2

Select the Album

Click on the album from the search results. The search result shows the album cover, name, artist, track count, and release year. You’ll be taken to the “Configure Album Credits” screen.
3

Apply Roles to All Tracks

At the top, you’ll see the Apply roles to all tracks section with common role buttons. Select the roles that apply to most tracks, then click Apply to All Tracks to set those roles on every track in the album.
4

Customize Individual Tracks (Optional)

Below the bulk section, you’ll see “Or customize per track” with a list of all album tracks. Each track shows its number, name, and any assigned roles as small badges.Click any track row to expand it and reveal role buttons. Toggle individual roles on or off for that specific track.
Tracks with no roles selected will not be added as credits. This lets you skip tracks where you didn’t contribute.
5

Add Album Credits

Click Add Album Credits to save all configured track credits at once. Only tracks with at least one role assigned will be added.

​
Understanding Credit Types

​
Songs vs Albums

Credits are displayed differently based on type:
TypeDisplayBest For
SongIndividual card with cover artOne-off features, single productions
AlbumStacked card showing track countProjects where you worked on multiple tracks

​
Multiple Roles

You can have multiple roles on the same song. Each role creates a separate credit entry, but they’re grouped together visually:
  • A song where you were Producer + Mixing Engineer shows both role badges
  • Filter pills let visitors see all your work in a specific role

​
Managing Your Credits

​
Viewing Credits in the Editor

In your artist edit page under the Credits tab, your credits are displayed as cards with:
  • Cover art from Spotify
  • Song/Album name and artist name
  • Role badges showing your contributions (e.g., “producer”, “mixing engineer”)
  • Track count for albums with multiple credited tracks
  • Action buttons for adding roles, opening in Spotify, deleting, or expanding (for albums)
Album credits that span multiple tracks display with a stacked card effect to visually indicate they contain multiple tracks.

​
Adding More Roles to an Existing Credit

To add additional roles to a credit you’ve already added:
  1. Go to your artist edit page → Credits tab
  2. Find the credit card
  3. Click the + (plus) button on the right side of the card
  4. A dialog appears showing available roles—select the ones you want to add
  5. Click Add Roles to save
Roles you’ve already added to that credit will appear disabled, so you can’t accidentally add duplicates.

​
Removing a Credit

To remove a credit and all its associated roles:
  1. Go to your artist edit page → Credits tab
  2. Find the credit you want to remove
  3. Click the red trash icon button on the right side of the card
  4. A confirmation dialog appears asking “Remove ‘[name]’ and all its roles from your credits?”
  5. Click Delete to confirm
Removing a credit deletes all roles associated with that song or album. This cannot be undone—you’ll need to re-add it from Spotify if you want it back.

​
Opening a Credit in Spotify

Each credit card has an external link icon button that opens the song or album directly in Spotify, so you can verify the credit or share it.

​
Credits Display on Your Profile

​
The Credits Tab

When visitors view your profile and click the Credits tab, they see:
  1. Total count of your credited projects
  2. Role filter pills to filter by specific contribution types
  3. Immersive credit cards with cover art backgrounds
  4. Play buttons that link directly to Spotify

​
Filter Pills

If you have credits with multiple roles, filter pills appear above the grid:
  • All — Shows every credit
  • Producer — Only credits where you produced
  • Mixing Engineer — Only mixing credits
  • etc.
Visitors can quickly see the scope of your expertise by filtering. If you’re known for mixing, they can see all your mixing work at a glance.

​
Card Design

Each credit card features:
  • Background — Album/track cover art with gradient overlay
  • Type badge — “Song” (green) or “Album” (purple)
  • Track count — For albums, shows number of tracks from Spotify
  • Popularity indicator — 3 dots showing track popularity on Spotify (high/medium/low)
  • Role badges — Up to 2 visible, with “+N more” for additional roles
  • Title and artist — Song name and performing artist
  • Release year — When it was released
The popularity indicator shows how popular a track is on Spotify. Three lit dots means high popularity (70+), two dots means medium (40-69), and one dot means lower popularity.

​
Responsive Design

Credits display differently on mobile vs desktop:

​
Album Credits with Multiple Tracks

When you’ve credited multiple tracks from the same album, they’re grouped together in the editor with a stacked card visual effect. This keeps your credits organized and shows visitors the scope of your work on larger projects.

​
Unavailable Credits

Sometimes songs or albums are removed from Spotify (label issues, re-releases, etc.). When this happens:
  • Credits are not deleted — they remain on your profile
  • They display with a dimmed appearance
  • A note indicates the track is “No longer available on Spotify”
  • The Spotify link is disabled
BeatPass automatically checks credit availability weekly. If a track returns to Spotify, it will become active again.

​
Best Practices

​
Building a Strong Credits Section

Lead with high-profile placements or projects you’re most proud of. First impressions matter.
Only claim roles you actually performed. Misrepresenting credits damages your professional reputation.
Show range by including different types of work — production, mixing, features, etc.
Add new placements as they release. An active credits section shows you’re actively working.
If you worked on multiple tracks from one project, add the entire album to save time.

​
What Makes Credits Valuable

Credits are especially powerful for:
  • New producers — Establishes credibility without extensive catalog
  • Engineers — Shows mixing/mastering portfolio beyond your own beats
  • Collaborators — Highlights features and co-productions
  • Professionals — Demonstrates industry experience to potential clients

​
Empty State for Owners

If you haven’t added any credits yet, you’ll see a placeholder message in the Credits tab:
“No credits added yet. Click ‘Add Credit’ to search Spotify for songs and albums you’ve worked on.”
Click the Add Credit button to get started.
Only you (the profile owner) see this prompt. Visitors don’t see an empty credits tab — it simply doesn’t appear until you add credits.
