Hit Record, Press Send
Getting a release right - from distribution and royalties to EPKs and release plans - involves more moving parts than most artists expect. This workshop aims to break it all down, focusing on real-life experiences from those in the same shoes as you.
Join us at Finding Fillmore’s for a panel discussion with local studio owner Syd Green (Jervis Bay Studios) and independent artist Lily Richardson (CLEWS) as they illuminate the release process.
You will get the most out of this workshop if you are an early to mid-career artist looking to release new music in the next 6-12 months.
They'll cover topics like:
- How to successfully prepare and distribute your music across digital platforms
- How royalties work and how to ensure your music is correctly registered and monetised
- Creating press releases and an EPK
- Different release strategies and how to select an approach that best supports your goals
- How to connect your release campaign with touring plans to maximise impact and audience reach
- How to properly prepare for studio recording
- The importance of pre-production
How to get involved
Spots are limited – please tell us a bit about yourself, what you're working on, and what you're hoping to get out of the day. Applications close Wednesday, 3 June.
