Your bio is your first impression. It’s what curators, bookers, journalists, and fans read before they hear your music. A compelling bio and pitch build credibility and make your story unforgettable.

Step 1: Craft Your Long & Short Bio

Long Bio: Used for websites, press kits, and label submissions. Focus on your background, style, influences, and mission.

Short Bio: For social media, emails, or introductions. Capture your essence in 1–2 punchy sentences.

Step 2: Tell a Relatable Story

Good bios have heart. Share your WHY—not just achievements. What inspires your music? What makes your path unique?

Step 3: Write Your Elevator Pitch

Your elevator pitch is a 15–30 second intro you can use anywhere—networking, podcast invites, or grant applications.

Template:
“I’m [Name], a [Genre] artist blending [Influences] to [Purpose/Impact Statement]. My sound is like [Artist 1] meets [Artist 2] with a twist.”

Step 4: Include Key Career Highlights

Add 2–3 career facts: streaming numbers, press features, awards, or notable performances. Keep it relevant and current.

Step 5: Keep It Updated

Review your bio quarterly. Update it after major releases or achievements.

Final Thought:
Your story is powerful. When you own it, others connect with it.

“Your music introduces your sound. Your bio introduces your soul.”
