Have you ever asked yourself, “How do I actually get my music out there?”

Maybe you’ve written the perfect album, the perfect piece, or the perfect E.P., but you’re just not sure what the next steps are.

The good news: I’ve just released a podcast episode covering what to do, from start to finish.

In this episode I cover:

  • Where to start with your ideas - the smallest inkling of an idea can become a full piece of music or song with just a bit of time.

  • Details to plan beyond just music - going into details like cover art, titles, and the little unexpected things—sharing what I’ve learned about planning so you know what to expect.

  • Distribution and getting your music on platforms for independent artists - it can feel overwhelming to know where to start, from DistroKid to BandCamp, to copywriting and more. I break down how it works and what you can do to feel more confident.

…and all of this is from my own experience.

For detailed steps and more stories from my own experience, listen to the full episode here:

By the way, I haven’t recorded an episode by myself for more than a year! So go easy on me - I’ve lost some of my old flow. But don’t worry, it will come back with a little bit of practice.

Until next time,
