5 Things To Include in Your Music EPK

Your EPK should make it easy for someone to understand your music and contact you without chasing through old posts. Start with a short bio that says what you make, where you are based, and what matters about your current work. Keep it readable. A few clear sentences beat a life story or a pile of adjectives.

Your EPK should make it easy for someone to understand your music and contact you without chasing through old posts. Start with a short bio that says what you make, where you are based, and what matters about your current work. Keep it readable. A few clear sentences beat a life story or a pile of adjectives.

Add a small selection of strong press photos. Use images that look like you and suit the world around your music, not a random gallery from every shoot you have done. Make sure the files are easy to download and label them clearly, so a writer or promoter can use the right image without asking.

Give people one obvious place to hear the music. Choose the tracks that best represent where you are now, then check every link before you send the pack. Include a short note on any release you want people to hear, but keep the focus on what it sounds like and why it belongs in their inbox.

Your live information belongs there too. Share the kind of rooms, nights, or audiences you want to play for, along with a short list of useful past shows if you have them. Do not stretch a thin history into a bigger story. Being straightforward makes you easier to trust.

Finish with working contact details and links to the social pages you actually keep current. Put your name, email address, and any booking contact in plain view. Revisit the EPK whenever your music, photos, or priorities change. It is not a trophy cabinet. It is a practical tool that should help the next useful conversation start quickly.
