Sometimes, unsigned and up-and-coming bands will reach out and ask about rates and packages for them. When they do so with politeness, general curiosity, via a recommendation from an associate, and with good business sense, I will vet it and see if it's something I can work with. Or, at the very least, I'll see if it's something I can recommend to a colleague who might be a better fit if I'm unable to get involved.
When we last talked about Adele on this blog, she was saving the music industry in 2011 with the release of her critically (and everywhere else) acclaimed sophomore album, 21. We pointed out a few examples of her approach towards her audience and how she used her music to build an incredible platform to reach them on a deeper level.
Since then, her platform has only grown more powerful. By the end of 2012, 21 surpassed 10 million in sales, she won an Oscar in 2013 for her song, “Skyfall,” and during 2015's holiday season,she became the first artist to sell one million downloads in a single week with “Hello” from her album, 25.
You’ve decided you need a music publicist you can trust to help you promote your next album release. You’re nervous. There are stories you’ve heard from bands who hired a publicist who took their money and disappeared, or maybe the publicist stuck around but made huge promises they simply couldn’t deliver.
Noise Pop is back in 2019 (Feb. 25-Mar. 3) and reserving 5 performance slots Sonicbids artists. All selected artists will be compensated!
