Free electronic press kit for musicians

An electronic press kit (EPK) is one link that tells a booker, label or journalist who you are: your bio, music, photos, videos, shows and numbers. Artistboard builds yours in a few minutes, and your link updates whenever you change something. Free for life, no card needed.

An Artistboard press kit: banner photo, featured song, streaming and social numbers and bio.

What goes in an electronic press kit

Eight parts, in the order a booker or label reads them. Artistboard has a place for each one.

  1. 1

    A short bio

    Two or three paragraphs: who you are, what you sound like and what you've done lately. Lead with your best fact.

  2. 2

    Your music

    One featured song up top, then your releases, linked to Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube so they can listen in one click.

  3. 3

    Your numbers

    Monthly listeners, followers and recent growth. Bookers and labels check these first, so they have to be current.

  4. 4

    Press photos

    A few high-quality photos they can download and use without asking: one landscape, one portrait, one live.

  5. 5

    Videos

    Your best music video and a live clip. A live clip matters most to venues and festivals.

  6. 6

    Upcoming shows

    Dates and cities, so a promoter can see you're active and where you already draw.

  7. 7

    Highlights and press

    Playlist adds, press quotes, notable shows and support slots. Short and specific.

  8. 8

    Contacts

    Who to reach for booking, press and management, with a phone number and an email for each.

How to make your press kit

  1. 1

    Sign up free

    Make an account with no card. You land straight in your press kit.

  2. 2

    Fill it in

    Pick your songs from Spotify, then add your numbers, bio, banner photo, videos and shows.

  3. 3

    Send your link

    Share one link with labels, press, venues and playlist curators. Change anything and the link updates, so you never resend it.

Free for life

  • Your own press kit link to send to labels, press and venues
  • Your listeners, streams and followers on one page
  • Bio, music, banner photo, videos, shows and contacts
  • A PDF version to attach when someone asks for a file

Quick answers

What is an electronic press kit (EPK)?

An electronic press kit, or EPK, is a musician's résumé in one link. It gives bookers, labels, journalists and playlist curators everything they need to decide on you: a bio, your music, your numbers, press photos, videos, upcoming shows and contacts.

Is the Artistboard press kit really free?

Yes. The press kit is free for life with no card needed. Free kits show a small "Made with Artistboard" credit. The rest of Artistboard, like Release Rollout, Outreach and Financials, is on the Artist plan, and you can upgrade any time.

What should be in a musician's EPK?

A short bio, a featured song and your releases, current streaming and social numbers, downloadable press photos, a music video and a live clip, upcoming shows, highlights and press quotes, and contacts for booking, press and management.

Is a link better than a PDF press kit?

Usually. A link stays up to date, plays your music in one click and never bounces for being too big an attachment. Some bookers still ask for a file, so Artistboard also makes a PDF version of your kit.

How do I update my numbers?

Type in your monthly listeners, streams and followers, and change them any time with one click. Your link updates the moment you do, so a booker always sees your latest.

Does it work for bands and DJs?

Yes. Solo artists, bands, DJs and producers all use the same press kit. Add every member in your bio and contacts, and use your bio for residencies, festival slots or support dates.

Do I need a website if I have a press kit?

Not to get booked. Most bookers and labels only need your press kit link. A website is for fans; a press kit is for the people who decide whether to book, sign or write about you.
