    How to Make an EPK for Musicians: One-Page Press Kit Checklist

    An electronic press kit, or EPK, gives a host, writer or promoter the essentials in one place. It does not need to be fancy. It needs to answer their questions quickly.

    Start with the short version

    Put your artist name, sound and location near the top. Add a short bio that explains what makes the music yours. Lead with current work instead of a long childhood story. Keep a longer bio available for anyone who needs more background.

    Choose music and photos with a purpose

    Lead with one or two songs that show your current direction. Use links that work without a private account. Include a clear artist photo that you have permission to share, with the photographer credit if required. Do not make people scroll through a large folder of nearly identical images.

    Keep your highlights honest

    Use real radio plays, published articles and shows. Include the date and a link where possible. If you are early in your career, focus on the current release and its story. A clear, honest page is stronger than a list of vague claims about industry attention.

    End with a clear contact

    Name the person handling enquiries and provide a working contact. Test the whole page from a phone. You can use one main artist page and link to downloadable press assets from it. Update the kit after each release so an old single does not stay at the top forever.

    YOUR NEXT MOVE

    Build or update one page with a short bio, one song, one approved photo and a working contact.
