If you have a band you need an electronic press kit also known as an EPK. An EPK is a summary of your band. You can think of it as your band's resume. When an employer gets a resume the will judge the book by the cover. It's the same way when venues, record labels and music blogs look at your EPK. Your electronic press kit (EPK) needs to stick out. It needs to be short and sweet. It needs to highlight the very best you have to offer. No fluff.

Confused about what an electronic press kit for musicians should look like? In this podcast, we talk about who an electronic press kit is for and what to include on it. Creating an electronic press kit for musicians can be daunting but simply having important information scattered on your website isn’t enough. Members of press and venues don’t have time to dig for your bio, contact info or pictures so having an electronic press kit for musicians in an easily accessible spot makes it much more convenient to simply send a link to them. Check out the FREE webinar we had on creating an effective Electronic Press Kit (EPK)! Housing your press kit on a platform like BandZoogle makes it easy to access and edit as needed. To learn more about BandZoogle, click the button below. Who is an electronic press kit for? Venues Press Radio Stations Podcasters Electronic Press Kit for musicians should show: Branding (pictures, colors, fonts that say who you are) Newsworthy items (awards, notable performances) Social proof (other people value what you are doing) What to include on an electronic press kit for musicians: Good bio (short, long bio) Carefully chosen album art and pictures (several different sizes available) Videos (music and/or performance videos) Audio (good examples of your work) Quotes (fan quotes) Sound alikes Contact form What downloads might you include? One-sheet (PDF) Album Notes Store larger assets in DropBox, Box.net (or similar cloud location) An important piece of advice is to make sure you keep your electronic press kit updated. It should always have new and current information. As a general rule of thumb, it should be updated every 3 months. Be sure you can easily access your press kit to update it (we suggest BandZoogle, WordPress, Squarespace) so you don’t have to depend on developers. Most importantly, stay consistent an update all the places where your electronic press kit lives. Having differing information in several places can increase confusion. To easily create a professional looking website on your own, we suggest BandZoogle.
