What Is an EPK and Why Every Musician Needs One

What Is an EPK and Why Every Musician Needs One

Let’s get right to it: getting noticed as a musician today takes more than great music. You need to back it up with a professional look too. That’s where an EPK, short for Electronic Press Kit, comes in. Think of it as your digital resume or portfolio, built specifically for the music industry.

An EPK puts your best foot forward, all in one place. Here’s what it usually includes:

• A short, compelling bio

• High-quality photos

• Links to your music (Spotify, SoundCloud, etc.)

• Performance videos

• Press quotes or testimonials

• Contact info and booking links

  
  

It’s what promoters, venues, festivals, and journalists want to see when they’re deciding whether to work with you. Sending a mess of links or big email attachments just doesn’t cut it anymore.

That’s why we built EPKit.ai. A fast, beautiful way to create what we call your Artist Media Page. It transforms your content into an eye-catching format that tells your story with clarity and professionalism. You don’t need design skills, and you don’t need to overthink it. Just drop in your content, and EPKit.ai does the rest.

If you're serious about your music career, a strong EPK isn't optional, it's an essential tool for success.
