What Support Artists Look Like on Your Tour Page
When you add support artists to a tour, they appear as cards on your tour smart link page, typically below your tour dates. Each support artist card shows:- Artist photo (pulled from Spotify)
- Artist name
- A short bio (AI-generated from Spotify data)
- Clickable link to the support artist’s profile
Adding a Support Artist
Open the Support Artists Section
On either the tour creation page or the tour management page, find the Support Artists section. It is open by default for easy access.
Search by Name
Type the support artist’s name into the search field. Fanaura uses the Spotify search API to find matching artists in real time.As you type, a list of results appears showing:
- Artist name
- Profile photo
- Follower count (helps you pick the right artist if there are multiple with similar names)
- Genres (confirms you have the right artist)
- Popularity score (Spotify’s 0-100 popularity metric)
Select the Artist
Click on the correct artist from the search results. Fanaura immediately:
- Adds the artist to your support artist list.
- Imports their profile photo from Spotify.
- Generates an AI bio using the artist’s Spotify data (genres, followers, and public information).
The AI-Generated Bio
When you add a support artist, Fanaura generates a short, engaging bio using AI and the artist’s Spotify data. The bio typically includes:- The artist’s genre and style
- Notable achievements or milestones (follower count, popular tracks)
- A sentence or two about their sound
Example AI-generated bio:“Hailing from Austin, TX, River Stone blends indie folk with Americana storytelling. With over 50,000 Spotify followers and a debut EP that landed on Spotify’s Fresh Finds playlist, they bring a raw, authentic energy to every stage.”
Editing the Bio
Regenerating the Bio
If you do not like the generated bio at all, click the “Regenerate” or “AI Bio” button (indicated by a sparkle icon). Fanaura generates a new version. Each generation produces a slightly different result, so you can try a few times until you get one you like.Managing Support Artists
