Your Artist Press Kit & Release Announcement
What to put in your artist press kit, how to announce a new single, and how to keep track of the files, dates and follow-ups around your release.
What should be included in an artist EPK?
Include a current bio, a few listening links, photos you have permission to use with their credits, the story behind your release, and a way to contact you. Only include achievements and press mentions you can verify. Test the kit on a phone and while signed out.
How do I write a press release for a new single?
Lead with the artist, release, date, and a clear story. Add relevant context, an accurate artist quote if available, a listening link, photos and artwork you have permission to share, and contact information. Follow the publication’s submission instructions.
How do I stay organized as a busy independent artist?
Check your release plans, upcoming dates, and people you need to follow up with. Give each task a clear next step and keep the right files with the plan. Write down decisions so you do not have to search old messages later.
