💡✍️ADN #176: How To Write Your Artist Bio

It has been 4 weeks since we launched Done with You MGMT.

We’ve created a free community (we’d love for you to join), have had 30+ artist phone or video calls, and 4 Saturday Sessions with our roster.

Saturday Sessions are our 90-minute group deep dives we do every Saturday on artist-management related topics + answer artist questions about their next individual steps surrounding their 12-month goals that we craft together in our artist onboarding calls.

In the Saturday Sessions we have covered artist identity, playlist tactics, social media consistency, cadence, one-sheets, EPK’s, and more in our first month.

Yesterday we ran through how to make a one-sheet, EPK, write, and consistently update your artist bio across your website, pitch materials, social and DSP accounts.

It has been a great experience getting to deep dive with artists on their goals, opportunities, and struggles.

Having individual catch-ups throughout the week with artists and then having the group together on Saturday’s has been a consistent way to be tactical on specific artist questions, and to have the group learn about where other artists are with their projects, pick up knowledge across different genres, and create camaraderie along the way.

Here is the bio writing guide we worked through yesterday on our call.

Here is the bio we used as an example.

It is for an artist, Garrett Boys, that we began working with last summer, who just reached top 20 at Americana radio with their debut single, “Back Home” ft. Steve Earle, and #17 with their debut album, “It Runs Deep”.

After we work through bio’s, we then pull them into other assets (One Sheets, EPKs, Tour Pitches, etc.) to help build a clear and cohesive world for fans and music industry professionals to always understand who the artist is and what their project is about.

Once you have your updated bio (spruce it up before every new release), then make sure that it is also up-to-date across all of your artist platforms for consistent narrative.

I hope the bio writing guide is a helpful tool for you.

If you have any questions, feel free to join the free DWYM community, and you can DM me anytime.

See you next Sunday,
