The Essence of a Press Kit
The essence of a press kit is to
persuade any person in charge of hiring new talent for a show or event. If you
search in the Internet about press kit you can find many interest articles
about how to create a press kit. A good press kit should be one that contains a
full biography
of the artist; pictures, recent songs as well as the one that the artist thinks
that are good tracks, news, and important links like YouTube video links.
When writing a
biography for a press kit is important to highlight the artist’s real name,
birthplace, and birthday. Doing this will give the reader the sensation of
knowing the artist even without ever saying a word to him. It creates a bond
between the artist and the reader. The
biography should also contain background information about the artist. This
background should include where the artist got raise, who is or who are his
influences in the music, his or her first experience with music, and how they
see themselves in the music. Writing this items in an artist’s press kit will
give a sense of persuasion for the reader and will generate interest in the
artist’s music.
Today there are
websites that help you create your press kit or your EPK. Sonicbids.com
is a website that dedicates to create an artist EPK and with the artist EPK tries
to find gigs in different events and festival where the artist can have an opportunity
to show himself and perform lives.
A press kit for an
artist is like the resume of an employee looking for a new job. In order for a
press kit impact an event promoter is important that the press kit of an artist
covers the major points or highlights of the artist to create the necessity of
hiring him or her for an event or gig.
On Tour With J Alvarez....
Recently I
went to Bogota,
Colombia with J Alvarez for a mega-event
concert with other Latin artists. It was my first time traveling with him
to Colombia and I have to say that the experience was incredible. The fans of
Colombia are the real definition of what a fan truly is. As soon as we stop at
Bogota people recognize him, taking pictures with him and telling him how much
the love him and his music. Then, a bus from a local radio station show up at
the airport with the bus full of fans waiting for J Alvarez to get inside the
bus, since they won the radio station contest to get a ride with J Alvarez all
the way to his hotel. Even when I got
the hotel many of his fans recognize me and took pictures with me.
One of the
things that I was paying attention really close was the dynamic behind the sponsor of the event
and their treatment to J Alvarez, and all the little details that make the show
looks big and how J Alvarez staffs handle it. The first thing I have to say is
that preparing and managing an event like a concert is no joke or piece of
candy. Everybody have to be in the same page in order to give an excellent show
to the public and fans that came to see their favorite artist. It’s funny to
see how the level of stress rise from time to time when the hour of the event
is getting closer. I remember taking a class where I had to organize an event
and I have to see that writing an event is easier than actually work on one.
The
experience of being actually part of an event is very rewarding because you can
taste a little bite of what you going to be handling on your daily basis. I
recommend to anyone if they have the opportunity to be part of an event to go
and see it from yourself and extract everything you can from that experience
believe me it will change the way you see things.
