How this genre finder works

Spotify does not label individual songs with a genre. Instead, genres live on the artist profile. When you paste a track link, this tool looks up the track, finds the artists on it and reads the genres Spotify has assigned to them. If the main artist has no genres yet, we check the featured artists too.

Why knowing your genre matters

Genre is how listeners, playlists and algorithms find your music. Pitching a lo fi track to a hardstyle playlist wastes everyone's time. When you know the genres Spotify associates with your sound, you can target the right playlists, write better pitches and pick the right curators. Our guide on how to get on Spotify playlists covers this in detail.

What to do with your genre

Once you know your genre, find the people who play it. You can search our free database of Spotify playlist curator contacts by genre and reach out directly, or start a Tunebump campaign and let us match your track with screened curators in your niche. Every curator listens and leaves feedback.

Frequently asked questions

How does Spotify decide what genre a song is?

Spotify does not tag individual songs with a genre. Genres live on the artist profile and are assigned by Spotify's systems based on listening patterns, playlist context and editorial data. This tool reads those artist genres for the track you paste.

Why does my song show no genre?

Many independent and newer artists have no genres assigned yet. Spotify adds genres once an artist has enough listening data and playlist activity. If your track shows no genre, type an artist you sound like and use their genres as a reference.

Can I change or set my genre on Spotify?

Not directly. There is no field in Spotify for Artists to set your genre. Genres are inferred from how and where your music is played, which is why landing on genre playlists matters. Playlist placements in your niche are one of the strongest signals you can send.

Is this genre finder free?

Yes. The tool is free and you do not need an account. Paste any Spotify track link and you get the genres straight from Spotify's data.
