This is a page for independent (indie) musicians and other artists who want to get noticed. This page will help explain to
you how to do this, but it won't do it for you. This site WILL provide expert tips to help you create
your own media campaign for upcoming CD releases and gigs. Feel free to follow any of the steps on the list
to your right. Yay for DIY! First, every artist needs a press kit to help promote themselves, let's get started... |
