The fastest free way to find a Spotify playlist curator's email is to read the playlist description. If it is not there, check the curator's profile, website or social accounts. Only use contact details the curator has shared for submissions, and follow any instructions they give.
1. Check the playlist description
Many curators add an email address or submission form directly to the playlist description. On desktop, the description usually appears under the playlist title. Look for phrases such as "submit", "demos" or "submissions".
In a November 2026 snapshot of 12,505 active playlists in the Delaynote directory, 90% had an email address and 17% had a submission link. That sample only includes playlists selected because they share submission details, so it does not represent every playlist on Spotify.
2. Check the curator's Spotify profile
Click the curator's name. Their profile may show other playlists, which can help you identify a label, blog or brand behind them.
3. Search for the curator or brand
Search for the curator's name with words like "playlist submissions" or "contact". Their website may have a form or specific submission rules.
4. Check social profiles
Many curators link a form or email in their Instagram, X or Facebook bio. If they accept messages there, keep yours short and include the Spotify link.
5. Use a submission platform
Platforms such as SubmitHub, Groover and Daily Playlists let you contact curators without finding their email. Compare the costs in our playlist submission sites guide.
6. Use a curator directory
A directory collects submission details in one place. Delaynote lists more than 12,000 playlists whose curators have publicly invited submissions, with filters for genre and mood, follower history and a submission tracker.
Doing the search yourself is free, so a directory is only worth paying for if the saved time matters to you. Browse the directory to see how it works.
What about free curator email lists?
Be careful with free lists on GitHub, spreadsheets and old blog posts. They often contain outdated addresses, inactive playlists or poor genre matches. Many also leave out the curator's submission rules, and mass emailing an old list can damage your reputation and your email deliverability.
If you use one, check each playlist on Spotify before contacting it.
How to contact curators the right way
- Follow the instructions in the playlist description.
- Send one personal email per curator.
- Only pitch playlists that fit your music.
- Follow up once after 10 to 14 days.
- Stop if the curator says no or asks you not to contact them.

Can I contact every curator on Spotify? No. You need a contact method the curator has shared, such as an email address or submission form.
