Why this might fit
Someone to consider for promoting an independent soul single.
What to ask next
Look at music they have helped promote. Ask when they are available, what they charge and what that price includes.
In AirTrax, you can find contacts by what they do, keep notes about your conversations and add people to a release plan. Check their recent work and how they want to receive music before reaching out. This example list resets when you leave the page.

What can you find in the contact directory?
A useful contact record answers three questions: who is this person, why are they relevant to this release, and what should happen next? Use the directory as a starting point, then verify each person’s current role and submission details.
- Directory categories: rapper contacts, playlists, producers, engineers, video editors, marketing, influencers and influencer agents, and graphic designers.
- Relevant context: sound, previous conversation, and why the project fits.
- Relationship status and notes that remain specific to your account.
- A next action in your release plan or calendar.

Choose who to contact about your next song
Start with one release and a short, relevant shortlist. Search or filter contacts by category, open each record, and save the context you would otherwise lose in a DM. Add the people involved to the campaign and prepare an individual pitch using an outreach template.
When a contact replies, update the status and notes. If no reply arrives, review the person’s stated submission policy before following up. AirTrax helps organize the work; you still choose the recipient, review the message, and send it through your email app.
When is a spreadsheet enough?
A spreadsheet is a reasonable starting point for a small list with occasional outreach. AirTrax becomes useful when contacts need to stay connected to release tasks, files, and repeated follow-ups. Try one campaign before moving your entire process.
| Your need | How to handle it |
|---|---|
| A small one-off list | A simple spreadsheet may be enough. |
| Contacts connected to releases | Use AirTrax contact records and campaign links. |
| Automatic email sequences or reply sync | Use a separate email tool; AirTrax does not provide an automated sending service. |
Does AirTrax send emails automatically?
No. AirTrax prepares template-based outreach and opens your email app. Review the recipient, message, and linked assets before sending.
Does the built-in directory guarantee a response?
No. Directory access does not imply a relationship, endorsement, current availability, or permission to send bulk email. Verify relevance and submission instructions yourself.
