September 1, 2026 (Toronto) – LyricFind, a global leader in lyric licensing and data solutions, today announced the launch of its Verified Artist Program, which allows artists to claim their catalogue and directly control their lyrics on the platforms and DSPs that LyricFind powers. The Verified Artist Program is completely free to use for artists and labels, and those interested can learn more and sign up for their own profile on the Verified Artist website.
The Verified Artist Program at LyricFind allows artists to easily add, edit, and synchronize lyrics for display on all LyricFind’s partner services. Artists can upload existing lyric files or use LyricFind’s new AI-powered Transcribe & Sync tool by uploading their audio, which generates an initial transcription and line-by-line synchronization that users can review before submitting. Artists can also prepare and submit lyrics in advance of a release so they are ready to appear when the track goes live. LyricFind’s partners include more than 100 platforms such as Google, TikTok, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Audiomack, Anghami, Qobuz, and Pandora. In addition to ensuring control of their lyrics across these platforms, Verified Artists can submit translations of their songs, enabling them to reach global audiences.
Accurate and time-synced lyrics give artists another way to strengthen how their music performs across digital platforms. Synched lyrics can encourage fans to stay with a song and interact with it more deeply, while accurate lyric data and metadata can improve searchability and help platforms better understand and surface a track. Since licensed lyric usage also generates royalties for publishers and songwriters, getting lyrics right can support both audience growth and additional revenue opportunities.
“Since starting LyricFind over 20 years ago, we’ve believed artists shouldn’t have to pay just to make sure their lyrics are accurate, complete, and available wherever fans are listening,” said Founder and CEO, Darryl Ballantyne. “That’s why the Verified Artist Program is completely free. Alongside our other industry leading tools, the Program ensures artists have full control over their lyrics and how to best use them for maximum impact and revenue, all with no additional costs standing in their way.”
LyricFind’s Verified Artist Program is designed to help artists ensure accuracy of their lyrics displayed on music platforms. Royalties will continue to be collected and distributed to songwriters via their publishing representatives. Self-published songwriters can also register through a partner.
Verified Artists also have access to Rotor Videos directly within the dashboard at discounted rates, with both a la carte and Artist Unlimited subscription options. Without leaving the LyricFind ecosystem, artists can move from submitting and syncing their lyrics to creating supporting marketing visuals for the same release. With Rotor Videos, artists can turn their tracks into lyric videos, Spotify Canvas, Apple Music Album Motion, animated album artwork, social clips, and other release-ready visual assets in minutes. Together, these tools give artists the “Combined Power” to submit lyrics, sync and publish them, create supporting video assets, and build more value around each release.
LyricFind’s Verified Artist Program joins a variety of other services and tools in the LyricFind suite, including Lyric Display and Lyric Search; Translations and Transliterations in 18 languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean; Rotor Videos by LyricFind, enabling promotion of music through lyric videos, Spotify Canvas, Apple Music Album Motion, album artwork videos, and more; LyricIQ lyric data analysis and filtering tools; LyricAssist single-click lyric transcriptions and syncing; and more.
