PM Musician

Build an electronic press kit that bookers and blogs actually read — the three-sentence bio that isn't 'genre-defying', a one-page layout with streaming numbers presented honestly, the photo and live-video requirements, and pitch emails tuned per target (venue, blog, radio, festival). Use when a musician says 'I need an EPK', 'venues keep ignoring my emails', 'write my band bio', or 'what do I send festivals'. Produces the EPK content, the one-page layout spec, and four pitch email templates.

Write the band agreement before the money or the breakup arrives — who owns the songs, how money splits (writing vs performing distinguished), who owns the name, what happens when someone quits, and the decision rules for offers — decided while everyone still shares a van. Use when a band asks 'how should we split money', 'who owns our songs', 'our drummer quit, what happens', or is about to record/release/sign anything. Produces a plain-language band agreement and the meeting script to agree it. Not legal advice — it's the conversation that makes the lawyer cheap later.

Plan an independent music release backwards from release day — the 8-week countdown with distributor upload deadlines flagged, playlist pitch windows, the pre-save decision made honestly, content batched before the chaos, and a release week that doesn't depend on luck. Use when a musician says 'I'm releasing a single/EP', 'when should I submit to playlists', 'plan my release', or uploaded to a distributor with no plan. Produces the week-by-week countdown, the asset checklist, and release-week runbook.
