Artists/Band from different genres mixed together because they have the same name

Does Deezer not employ anyone to sort out their catalogue?  Now I like a 70s rock band called “Cactus” but under their band name are about 5 other artists/bands with the same name but different genres. This means you have a hard rock band, an Afghan folk band, a South American pipe band and a group from India (and I think a French band has popped up now). How do we get them all sorted into their own place?  It’s not just these either it’s a real mess but nobody seems to do anything about it!

Surely it should be someone’s job at Deezer to do the library housekeeping so things are in the correct place. I understand mistakes happen but I see mistakes in most artists.

i wonder how much in the way of royalties is going to the wrong people.

Hi @Jamie.Deezer here’s the link of the first single:

https://www.deezer.com/en/album/727736191

Unfortunately there is another band with the same name, so I can't claim the name - either choose the other band or nothing.

If nothing can be changed, please let me know to inform my distributor to leave Deezer out of the DSPs, cuz releasing songs and other taking the royalties is not acceptable.

Thanks in advance,

Thank you Jamie! I really appreciate your help.

Is there a way to change the rounded icon next to the band’s name?

Thx in advance,

@Transcendence band US you’ll need to claim your artist page on Deezer for Creators and after that you’ll be able to edit and change your profile picture among other things.
