Artist Profile ​

Your artist profile is your home on Slipmat — it's what you perform as, and what fans follow. Profiles are built around memberships, so a profile can be one person or a whole crew.

Members and roles ​

When you create an artist profile it starts with one member: you. If you perform as a group, or work with people who help run your events, you can add more members. One person can also be a member of several artist profiles, so collaborating on different projects doesn't mean juggling multiple accounts.

Each member has a role that sets what they're allowed to do:

  • Owner — full control, including profile settings and managing members.
  • Member — can manage events and help moderate chat.
  • Roadie — can help moderate chat (crowd control) during events.

Behind these roles are four separate abilities, so permissions are precise:

  • Moderate chat — mute, kick, and ban in the artist's chat and event chats.
  • Manage events — create, schedule, and run events.
  • Post as the artist — chat messages appear in the artist's voice rather than your own.
  • Manage the artist — change profile settings and add or remove members.

There's always an owner

An artist must always have at least one member who can manage the artist. That last owner can't be removed or demoted, so a profile can never be left without someone in charge.

Every member gets their own streaming key, so anyone on the crew can go live, while you stay in control of who can do what.

Showing up on the profile ​

Each member decides for themselves whether they're listed publicly on the artist profile. You can toggle your own visibility at any time — no owner approval needed.

Posting as the artist ​

Members with the "post as the artist" ability have their chat messages shown as the artist, which is handy for announcements and official replies. The one exception is your private crew channel: messages there are always shown as yourself.

Your crew's private channel ​

Every artist has a private crew channel — a staff-only chat for owners, members, and roadies (and any collaborators helping on an event). It's separate from your public artist chat and from event chats, and it's where your team can coordinate out of public view.

Fans ​

People who follow your artist become your fans. Fans are how you gate members-only events, and they're the audience your ad hoc notifications reach.

Keep it looking sharp ​

Your profile carries your artist photo and a default event photo used when an event doesn't have its own. If you migrated from the old Slipmat, it's worth refreshing these — some older artwork is many years old by now, and good visuals make your events look their best.
