So youʼve been writing, recording or doing the local open-mic night circuit for a while now, youʼve just recorded your first single, EP or album and are ready to start getting the word out about your brand. Hereʼs a quick music marketing check-list to help you get on your way:
1. Define your brand – Ensure your branding is clear, consistent and professional across all your online and offline platforms. Define your identity who/where you target audience are. Go to your fans, donʼt expect them to come to you.
2. Collect “currency” and beware of “Hungry Companies” – Email addresses, mobile numbers and zip codes are the new currency of the music industry. Email is one the most effective direct marketing channels to fans. Make sure you are collecting fan data wherever you are both online and offline. Companies like us (PlaybyVIP) can service your music to digital media, blogs and DJ’s via our newsletter service, but if you have collected a member database yourself, two great newsletter services are mailchimp.com or fanbridge.com.
Never spend more than $100 on an “EMAIL BLAST”. You will most likely come across marketing companies, Email Blast websites and “Promo Guys” who will claim to send your music to an extremely large quantity of DJ’s or music industry contacts. These companies will take $200 (sometimes even $1000), and email your music to a much less quantity of contacts without following up and securing you any features or plays. If you receive an Invoice or Payment Information on your first correspondence – beware, and don’t expect any follow up service. Spend little on “Email Blasts” and spend more on authentic “Pluggers/Publicists”!!!!
3. Create a website – having your own website instantly create a professional brand. It also acts as a uniting hub for all your other social networking sites. Remember, if Myspace or Facebook died tomorrow, all your fan data would be lost. Having a website ensure you are in total control of your brand and fan data. If you canʼt afford a website yet, then just get a holding page with a newsletter sign-up on it and links to your social networking sites.
4. Prioritize quality over quantity – Prioritize connecting with fans one by one over applications that “autobot” fans onto your social networking sites. This will inspire loyalty in your fan base and will ultimately be the most effective way in turning potential fans into super fans.
5. Be media ready – Ensure you have both physical and digital copies of your music available, and a biography and/or press release too. Many journalists still want to receive physical product in order to judge the professionalism of an artist. However make sure you also have your full album available for download via a hidden website. I recommend Soundcloud for this.
6. Donʼt forget about offline marketing – Online marketing has made connecting with fans on a global level so much easier. We can now communicate with people in real time all over the world. However, donʼt forget about your offline marketing. Your live performance, fan interaction at gigs, and face to face networking are still fundamental. Be aggressive (but nice!) in BOTH your offline and online marketing.
7. Know your rights – Ensure you aware of the different ways of earning money online and offline. Make sure you sign up to SoundExchange (itʼs free!) in order to collect your digital royalties and keep up to date with issues affecting musicians by checking in with The Future of Music Coalition.
8. Be creative, be personal – Donʼt be afraid to ask your fans for input into your creative process. If they see you are listening to them, it will incentivize their loyalty and you will create word-of-mouth buzz.
Asjislam once again excels on “Put 1 In The Air”, an introspective track where he talks about his life and feelings. This is easily the best standout song on the Ep. However beats, production, and lyrics are all on point throughout this release “NO GRILLZ NO TATTZ NO CHAINZ” is easily one of my favorite Rap Ep’s to come out this year.
Born in April on the north side of Cleveland, Asjislam lived a nomadic lifestyle as his family moved from one place to the next. And even though his home life was unstable, music would serve as the one thing he would come to depend on. After hearing such artist as Nwa, Scarface, Epmd, Krs1 and the Ghetto boys, he felt a special connection to this form of expression. I guess you can say hip hop saved his life. A life of pain and loss, both of which his music is based on. Everyone has a story, some more tragic than others, and thanks to this art form he was able to at least for some moments, escape a few of his.

The Risk release the video for their latest single “Peaches and Cream”. The quartet that consists of Charlie Healy, Andy Merry, Derry Mensah and Ashford Campbell have taken on the 112 classic and made it their own.
The Risk appeared on The X Factor in 2011 and have been busy touring since. They have worked hard over the last 18 months to develop a sound and image that doesn’t represent every other boy band in the UK. They hold the record for doing more Club PA’s than any other band to come from the X-factor.
The 112 track, featuring Diddy, was an international club hit, and is still on many DJ’s playlists. The fact that it hasn’t been covered, made it the perfect track for The Risk to work with. New 808s, sub bass and strings have brought this track to a new decade.
The Risk, “Peaches and Cream”, new single available now.
