šŸ§‘ā€šŸ’» Curator test āž”ļø Lyrics Curator

Curators are among the most passionate and active community members we have and weā€™re delighted to have them. They are selected on the merit of their contributions and their activity within the community. Itā€™s a real achievement to make it onto the Curator team, and boy is it worth it!

Curatorsā€™ Benefits:

  • Curator label on your profile

  • Gain access to the Musixmatch Curator Slack

  • Free subscription to Musixmatch Premium

  • Access to paid missions

Gain greater publishing power in contributing and verifying lyrics on the Musixmatch website*

*Please note that Curator contributions outside the mission system are not guaranteed to be presented on third-party streaming services. They will always be available on the Musixmatch website, however, for our community's continued enjoyment

A Curatorā€™s status reflects the quality of their lyrics, and this is a quality that needs to be maintained! Curator statusā€™ can and will be revoked if necessary.

How to get there?

  • Must have already passed the Musixmatch Academy

  • Unlock at least one of these badges: Scribbler, Sheriff, Metronome, or Adventurer

  • Continue to contribute following our Writing Guidelines until we send you the Curator test via email

  • Take the test

Users who pass the Curators test will be notified via email within 7 days and will then have full access to all the Curatorsā€™ privileges.

Basically, the Academy and the Curator tests are different things. In order to be able to take the Curator test, you must have first passed the Academy.

When you pass either of the tests, you'll see a certificate marking your success in the Academy page.
