What's an EPK?
SonicbidsEPK stands for Electronic Press Kit. It's an easy-to-use, web-based alternative to bulky, expensive physical press kits. It contains all the basic promotional information about your act such as music, photos, press reviews, bio, and performance calendar. Unlike a physical press kit, however, you can build, update, and send out your EPK at any time and as much as you like. Click here to see one.
What can I do with my EPK?
SonicbidsTwo words: Save money! First, email it out to as many people as you want and build your music relationships without having to pay for costly CD duplication, supplies, postage, and other fees associated with sending physical press kits. Second, make submissions for consideration to some of the world's biggest music conferences, festivals, songwriting contests, live music competitions and other promoters with specific opportunities.

How do "Drop Box" promoters view EPK submissions through Sonicbids?
Sonicbidsquot;Drop Box" EPK submissions are not sent by email. A promoter simply logs into their Sonicbids account and accesses his or her online "in-box" to view the music and EPKs of all the artists who have made submissions. Through his or her account, the promoter can review each submitting band's EPK, view contact information, make notes, sort submissions according to preference, inform the artist of their selection status, and more.

Do you have a listing of A&R contacts or promoters? Will you send my EPK out for me?
SonicbidsNo. Sonicbids is not a database of contact information. The EPK will only grow your career if you use it. It is up you to find the contacts you want to review your EPK and to send it to them.
