4 Ways to Promote Your Music

If you are looking for platforms or opportunities to be heard, this blog post will help you to understand a few ways and shortcuts to promote yourself or your band. Whether it is your own music or a cover, to play shows you have to send snippets of your performances to ensure that your organisers believe that you and your band are capable of playing live shows. In order to promote yourself correctly and to reach your audience, we recommend the using the following ways to keep your fans updated:

1. Social Media Promotion

Keep an active Social Media presence. Post a video once a week if you can. Let your fans or people following you be engaged and let them get familiar with your profile. Once you keep posting, they will get an idea that you are someone who is regularly working on something and that keeps them excited. However, we recommend not to post everyday as some people might find it irritating or you might end up being too monotonous for their liking. Put up something exciting and try to do different things every week to change it up and keep it interesting. 

2. Professional Recording

Quality always matter in this industry. The better your recording, the more chances you will have to attract people. In the modern world, everyone has a very short span of attention. So whatever they hear, it has to be good and exciting for their ears. So to get the quality, make sure to record in a professional studio preferably one with a professional sound engineer. The studio can also help you with some aspects of music and elevate the product which will help you showcase your skill. Look at professional recording as an investment and save up to get your music produced professionally. In addition, working with a professional recording studio will give you access to professionals in the music industry. So, be professional, be punctual, make contacts and build your network. If the studio likes your music and working with you, ask them to talk about you, showcase a part of your music and share your contacts information with other musicians, music directors and producers.

3. Play Gigs

The best way to put yourself and your music out there is, to perform. Try to do small shows or any show that you can get in the beginning. It will help you with understanding how to prepare for a show, stage dynamics and also how to showcase yourself in front of crowd. The more you perform, the more the audience knows about you and your music. You will have admirers and critics. Embrace them both. Always look to improve, listen to their feedback and see how you can improve yourself. Also, make sure you spend time with your admirers and gain knowledge on what they liked about your performance and what they want to hear next. Remember, your fan base begins with a single admirer.

4. Release Music or Music Videos

This will build your profile and will help you get connected with artists and event organisers. It is important that people have some idea about you and the music you play. Also, if you can afford it, try to make videos for your song, as the visual aspect of entertainment has grown massively and this will help you attract the masses. Videos help connect with the crowd and if you make that connection, you have successfully put yourself out there.
