Professional Credits Feature

Release Date: December 8, 2025
We’re excited to introduce Professional Credits — a new way for producers to showcase their work on other artists’ projects directly on their BeatPass profile.

​
What’s New

​
Spotify-Linked Credits

You can now add songs and albums you’ve worked on from Spotify to your producer profile. Credits appear in a dedicated Credits tab on your profile, giving visitors proof of your professional experience.

​
Multi-Role Support

Select multiple roles for each credit. If you both produced and mixed a track, you can showcase both contributions:
  • Producer, Co-Producer, Beat Maker
  • Mixing Engineer, Mastering Engineer, Recording Engineer
  • Songwriter, Composer, Arranger
  • Featured Artist, Vocalist
  • Executive Producer, A&R, Creative Director

​
Album Import with Per-Track Editing

When adding an entire album, you can customize your role for each individual track. Perfect for projects where your contributions varied across songs.
1

Search for the album on Spotify

2

Apply default roles to all tracks

3

Customize individual tracks as needed

4

Add all credits at once

​
Immersive Profile Display

Credits appear as beautiful, immersive cards on your profile with:
  • Full cover art backgrounds with gradient overlay
  • Type indicators — Songs (green) or Albums (purple)
  • Popularity indicator — 3-dot display showing Spotify popularity
  • Track count — Shows total tracks for albums
  • Role badges — Up to 2 visible with “+N more” for additional roles
  • Stacked card effect for albums with multiple tracks

​
Mobile-Optimized Design

Cards are responsive and optimized for all devices:
  • Mobile: Rectangular cards (16:9) in single column layout
  • Desktop: Square cards in 2-4 column grid
  • Performance: GPU-accelerated rendering, lazy-loaded images

​
Role Filter Pills

Visitors can filter your credits by role type to quickly see all your work in a specific category — great for showcasing your mixing portfolio or production credits separately.

    • Memoized React components to prevent unnecessary re-renders
    • Lazy-loaded images with loading="lazy" and decoding="async"
    • GPU-accelerated transforms for smooth scrolling
    • Simplified backdrop effects on mobile for better performance
    • content-visibility: auto for off-screen rendering optimization

​
Database Updates

​
Admin Tools

A new artisan command is available for syncing credits with Spotify: 
# Sync all credits

# Sync specific artist
php artisan credits:sync-spotify --artist=123

# Preview changes without applying
