Calling First Nations artists & bands based in NSW
Elevate your music career with our Sound Advice masterclass tailored just for you. Join us for an immersive online session where you'll delve into the essentials of crafting your Electronic Press Kit (EPK) – your online artist resume.
An EPK is your gateway to the industry, presenting your music professionally to venue bookers, festival programmers, radio presenters, promoters, labels and funding bodies. In this session, facilitated by Travis De Vries (Awesome Black), you'll learn the fundamentals of EPKs and practical steps to make your own.
