How to Create an Electronic Press Kit (EPK) That Gets Noticed

An electronic press kit is a must for anyone seeking exposure and publicity as an artist.
You can send your electronic press kit to music industry professionals, clubs, media, or anybody who might be interested in your work.
An EPK is your professional resume to the world.
The idea is to create an EPK that is simple and to the point. 

Here are some tips that will help you to create a good EPK.
 

 

Make sure your EPK has the following elements:
contact information, short biography, clear pictures, quotes from people about your work, press coverage, gig or show information (if applicable) and links to your professional work (audio, video, images, social media sites, etc).

1   Contact information: This should clearly state where can you be reached, your phone numbers, emails, a link to your website, social media sites, etc.

2  Keep the Bio short. Your biography should include where you are based and a brief sketch about your professional work. For musicians or bands, also include ALL band members and instruments that are played. 

3  Provide links to your professional work: Links to your professional videos and audios. Professional images for models, photographers, painters. Make sure that all links are working and are of good quality.

4   Add professional pictures. Try to get a professional to shoot you and include 2-3 pictures in your EPK.

5   Include a few quotes/reviews from other professionals:  Do not make the mistake of providing quotes from friends or family. 

​

6  Include links to your press coverage (if any).

7   Add any gig/tour/show information: Mention any past or upcoming gigs/tours or shows
