The profile page for artists and supporters

Your profile page shows who you are, how you sound and where you play. Here is how it is built, how you edit it and what you need to publish it.

2 min read

There are profile pages for artists – DJ, MC, producer, VJ, live act, band – and for supporters who work behind the scenes, for example in photography, sound engineering or booking. At the top sits the header with cover image, profile picture, name, place, types and genres. Below it come the widgets: music, videos, texts, links, dates and more. Visitors can follow your page, share it or report it.

Header on top, widgets below: this is how fans see your page.

Editing

Whoever looks after the page sees a bar above the header. Click “Edit” and the page switches to “Management mode”. Now you can:

  • upload images with the camera buttons “Change cover image” and “Change profile image”,
  • open “Edit name”, “Edit location”, “Edit type” and “Edit genres” with the pencils in the header,
  • insert new building blocks with “Add widget”, move them and pick their width (Widgets).

Your changes are only stored when you click “Save” in the bar. “Discard” drops them, “Leave” ends management mode. With “Preview desktop” and “Preview mobile” you see the page as visitors will see it.

In management mode every field in the header has a pencil.

Types and genres

At least one type is required. You can mix artist and supporter types; the page then appears in both lists. An artist profile needs at least one genre to be published, and you can pick up to five. For a supporter-only profile genres are optional.

Publishing

A new page is a “Draft”: only you and your team can see it. Switch on “Visible to everyone” in management mode and it becomes public and appears in the directory. For that the profile needs a place, at least one type and – as an artist – a genre. If something is missing, the hint at the switch tells you exactly what. After the first publish EDM Hub offers to share the page.

Dates and memberships

When you are on the line-up of an event, the date appears by itself in the Upcoming dates widget and later in Played so far. Crews your page has joined are shown by the Member of widget.

Team and deleting

Under “Team” in the bar you give other people access with “Grant editing rights”: an admin edits the page and manages the team, a moderator only edits the page. Only the owner of the page sees “Delete profile”.
