Some artists make that first impression so tight — the visuals, the music, the energy all flow together. It doesn’t feel random. It feels intentional. That’s what makes people stick around.

A lot of artists assume they own any photos taken of them, but legally? The photographer owns the rights unless otherwise agreed. That means if an artist wants to use them for merch, album covers, or promos, they need permission. (1/4)

I wish artists would share more behind-the-scenes content. Raw, unedited moments from the studio, the writer’s room, or even a 30-second practice clip. Listeners don’t just love the music—they love the process. (1/3)

I get it—nobody wants an awkward photo floating around. But concert photography isn’t just about looking good, it’s about capturing the energy of a live show. And sometimes, those raw moments aren’t “perfect”—but they’re real.

Content isn’t just promo—it’s momentum. The artists winning aren’t just posting randomly. They’re teasing drops, telling stories, and keeping listeners engaged. If you're dropping music, you could be planning content at least a month in advance. (1/4)
