Self Promotion

[tastebudjohnny]

i am confused about the promotion of our music... i read and hear that we should promote our music on a website as well as using platforms like SoundCloud or Spotify so our music can be found by potential clients... Then i will read and hear quite the opposite... Some supes don't want music that has been on any of these platforms... For instance, i may use DistroKid to place music on Spotify... Please let me know what Your practices are or Your understanding... Thanks

this has been frequently discussed.

the short version is something like this -

if you are creating your music solely for exclusive licensing agreements, do not place them online for steaming.

*after* such music has been signed, ask whoever you are working with if its ok for you to share your music via those channels

hope that helps!
