We are beyond the era of sending physical copies of music, photos, and mail to promoters but having a press kit is still vital in making musicians stand out.

Now artists are able to accomplish more in the digital world with electric press kits. Here are the top five reasons having an EPK is important.


Promotional Tool


I don’t know how many times venues, promoters, magazines, etc. have asked me for a press kit to review. If you don’t have a press kit, you’re toast. Not the good kind either.

Having an EPK can benefit artists greatly because they offer a great piece to send to anyone you’re interested in working with.


Branding


An EPK is a musician’s resume. It embodies all the accomplishments, music and attitude of the artists in one easily traveled package which will resonate well with the people reviewing it. EPKs create an image for you.

They’re affordable

EPKs are affordable. Here at Symphonic, we offer an array of EPK packages that can help set artists apart, one of which being our artist EPK for the affordable price of $75!
