Find the Right People & Send a Better Pitch

How to build music industry relationships, pitch to labels, connect with producers, and grow your network as an independent artist.

How do I pitch my music to industry professionals?

Read the recipient’s current submission instructions, explain why your project fits, include one tested listening link, and make one clear request. AirTrax outreach templates help prepare a message for your email app; they do not send it automatically.

How do I submit music for Spotify editorial playlists?

Use the official pitch flow in Spotify for Artists for eligible unreleased music. Spotify’s support guidance says to pitch at least seven days before release. Allow enough distributor lead time for the release to appear in your artist portal. Submission does not guarantee selection.

How should I follow up after sending a demo?

Respect any response window or no-follow-up policy the recipient publishes. If a follow-up is appropriate, keep it brief and add useful context. Record the date and next action in your contact notes, and stop if the person declines or asks not to be contacted.

Does directory access mean a contact has agreed to receive my pitch?

No. Verify the person’s role, current details, relevance, and submission preferences before contacting them. Directory inclusion does not imply endorsement, permission for bulk messages, or guaranteed access.
