Look for a name, a history, past releases, interviews.
Live videos, studio clips, session screenshots or stems. Not all Artists share these. It counts for something when they do.
Who played, who wrote, who mixed? Check the release on Discogs to find out.
Dozens of tracks in a day, from one account, in many unrelated styles, is worth a second look.
Some services label or restrict machine-made music. Check the track page and the service’s rules.
Save what shows you made it first: project files, stems, dated recordings, early drafts, messages, upload receipts. Copy them somewhere safe. Do not edit the originals.
Note where you found it: the link, the date, the account name. Take screenshots and, if you can, save the audio. Write down what is similar and why you think it came from your work. Archive it.
Most services have a way to report copyright problems or impersonation. Use it, attach your evidence, and keep the reference number.
A collecting society, a musicians’ union, or a lawyer who knows music rights can tell you what options you have where you live. Some offer a first conversation at no cost.
Bring it to the forum and talk it through with other people who make music.
