# Become a Producer

> Create a new producer profile and join the BeatPass Producer Program.

The **Become a Producer** request is for people who do not already have a producer profile on BeatPass. It creates a brand-new profile linked to your account after approval.

***

## Who Should Use This

Choose this path if:

* You are new to BeatPass as a producer
* You do not see a BeatPass producer profile that should belong to you
* You want a fresh producer profile built around your current account

If your music is already on BeatPass under an existing profile, use [Claim Existing Artist](/help/producer-program/application-types/claim-existing-artist) instead.

### 6. Agreement

Check both boxes to confirm:

1. You agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
2. You own all rights to the beats you will upload, authorize BeatPass to host and issue licenses for them under BeatPass terms, and commit to uploading at least 2 beats per month

Your future uploads must be human-made and not fully AI-generated. If you use AI-assisted elements or AI samples, you must be able to verify the source and commercial-use rights. See [AI Audio and Human-Made Content](/help/legal/ai-audio-human-made-content).
