New Found Sound highly RECOMMEND you register and create an Artist profile on Songkick visit (you can have LIVE gigs appear on your Spotify account and you’ll sell more tickets)ģ things to do BEFORE you choose your release date: Spotify for Artists see click HERE for FAQs / help & HERE to Claim your profileĪpple Music for Artists see click HERE for help & HERE to Claim your profile The very first thing you should do is Claim your Spotify / Apple Music Profiles and set them up with Photos, Biography, Social Media links etc etc AND of course via your Live shows when it’s safe to do so.

In very general terms, we look at releasing music as having two phases, BEFORE you release your songs so Pre-release (where you PLAN your campaigns, artwork designed, register your music, agree distribution date etc etc), and AFTER so Post-release (where you continue promoting your music, growing your fanbase and seeking press features, radio, placements). At NFS we think you should do everything you can, give your music the best possible chance of making an impact, getting on playlists, securing airplay / press features and of course growing your fanbase. You’ve worked tirelessly writing songs, you’ve spent lots of time and money getting to this point, it makes no sense to now rush your release with hardly any plan on promoting / marketing your music. IF you find this article useful please like us on Spotify: see ⬇️ This tutorial is based on the New Found Sound Services we offer to musicians and we hope it helps you PLAN, DISTRIBUTE & MARKET your music. For the purposes of this article I’m going to assume you’re self-releasing and using your own record label like MyBandRecords etc (however at the end of this info pack I’ve included some tips IF a record label is interested). Releasing music is an important factor in building your profile and ultimately your fanbase, after all your songs / music are the foundation of your career.
