🎵 CAP Weekly: Getting Noticed Edition — Label Submissions & Festival Gigs!
Your weekly guide to getting signed, booked, and seen.
This week, we’re shifting focus from job listings to something every serious musician needs: exposure! Whether you’re looking to get signed or get on stage, your EPK, social media presence, and professional submissions can make or break your chances.
📣 How to Get Noticed by Labels
Want your music to land in the right hands? Here’s what you need:
✅ A clear, updated EPK — Include links to 2–3 standout tracks, your bio, press photos, and social handles. Don’t make them search.
✅ Social proof — Label scouts want to see engaged fans. You don’t need huge numbers, but consistency and authenticity count.
✅ Visuals that match your sound — If your music’s cinematic, your images and videos should be too.
✅ A pitch, not a plea — Treat label submissions like a collaboration. What’s your unique story? Why now?
