Independent Music Promotion | Spotify, Radio, DJ & Podcast Marketing
Independent Music Promotion | Spotify, Radio, DJ & Podcast Marketing I help independent artists, musicians, bands, producers, record labels, podcasters, and self-published audio creators build targeted audiences and drive sustained visibility and sales lift across music and podcast platforms. My focus is on strategic, managed, ongoing music marketing — running music promotion as a long-term system rather than a one-off drop.

Every campaign is built around three pillars: Research and targeting: outlet, playlist, DJ, and station fit for the specific release and audience, instead of mass blasts. Outreach and pitching: structured pitch emails, follow-ups, and reply tracking through a simple CRM workflow so outreach compounds between releases. Content and visibility: short-form video hooks, daily or weekly cadence on TikTok / Reels / Shorts, and ecosystem updates (Spotify for Artists, YouTube Studio, Apple Podcasts) that keep the artist visible while the long-term outreach runs in the background. I can run campaigns targeting the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and Europe depending on the project's audience and requirements. Whether you are launching a new single, promoting an album, growing your Spotify presence, pitching to playlists, reaching DJs and radio stations, building a podcast audience, or running an ongoing multi-release release plan, I develop the promotional strategy around the specific release and target audience and keep managing the system after the launch post is over.
