Guidelines / Artist Aliases of Joint Performers

• All of the artists that are part of the the joint performer are explicitly named in the alias of the joint performer.

Example: The Sharps , Dan Grissom and Buddy Harper can all be read in the artist alias Dan Grissom and The Ebb Tones with Buddy Harper's Orch.

• Try to stick as close as possible to the release by using the same connector as the release

Example: Liz Callaway sings a duet with Nick Foster on her album To Steve with Love - Liz Callaway Celebrates Sondheim . The back cover says "Move On (Duet with Nicholas Callaway Foster".

In this case you can be consistent by using the same connector ("with") as the release. The joint performance alias becomes Liz Callaway with Nicholas Callaway Foster.

• If there is no connector, use a dash as connector.

Example: Gloria Lasso - Orchestre direction Franck Pourcel

• Don't capitalize connectors of joint performers
  • Non exhaustive list of connectors: With, feat., featuring, directed by, conducted by

Example: Andrea Bocelli featuring Stevie Wonder

Example: The NBC Symphony Orchestra directed by Arturo Toscanini

• When the featured performer is displayed next to the performance title, don't reproduce the brackets in the joint performer alias.

Example: On the back cover of Expectations the 3rd song is displayed as "2 Souls on Fire (feat. Quavo)". Therefore, the joint performer of this song is Bebe Rexha feat. Quavo
