Music Publicity: Artists and Songwriters Need To Find A GREAT Publicist.

First of all, I got a flood of comments for some older posts I wrote before the holiday and, THANK YOU SO MUCH to readers who have taken the time to actually read and truly listen with their (inner) ears. I am very grateful. By the way, I dug up this URL for you to visit: www.famewizard.com.

Now, let’s get on to some quick specifics about publicity for your music! I have to stress that you really can’t do “all of this” by yourself. If there is any way you can get a publicist to help you (especially solo artists and songwriters), this would be very helpful. Music Publicity ranges greatly in price, and you get what you pay for. Having a Publicist run a music campaign is generally expensive, but a great publicist can really amp up your exposure. My thinking is that anybody who needs a publicist should find a great one with a steady track record of success who is (ideally) in the same city as you live in (or very close to it) so that you can establish a working relationship, and the publicist knows that you are doing your part too by performing or at least having new songs to push. There are great publicists, there are horrible publicists, and there are also thieves in this world. Therefore, paying someone you don’t know that much about who lives in a different state than you do is the easiest way to get screwed. That’s not to suggest that you can’t have one in a different city in the future, so long as you are also living/working in multiple cities across the country as a “working act.”

More to come.
