How to Write an Artist Bio That Gets You Booked

Of all the things artists put off, writing their own bio might be the most universal. You can write a song about the most personal thing in your life and share it with strangers. But ask someone to write two paragraphs about themselves in the third person and suddenly the blank page feels impossible. I have been in the music industry for 15 years and I have seen genuinely talented artists send out EPKs with bios that hurt them. Not because the writing was bad. Because the bio

WHY WE STARTED THIS BLOG:

We've worked with independent musicians who have the songs, the soul, the spark but not always the time, tools, or resources to build the digital presence they need.

We understand.

Between late nights, early shifts, and the grind of creation, keeping your electronic press kit current can feel like one more thing on an endless list. But when the right person finally looks, your presentation is what they go on. That part is in your control.

That's why we keep EPKit functions up to date with the latest technology. To help independent artists present themselves confidently and authentically. This blog supports that same goal.

You'll find:

Clear guidance on building and sharing your EPK
Tips that help you stand out authentically
Real talk about what the music industry responds to
Stories from independent artists carving their own path
Insights on EPK automation and pitch tracking

We believe independent musicians should have access to professional EPK tools that feel as honest as the work they make. Tools that present your music clearly to the people who decide.

EPKit.BLOG is here to support that with practical insights, grounded encouragement, and zero noise.

We'd love to hear from you. Drop us a note, or visit epkit.io to build your automated EPK.

We're here to help you get heard.

Artist Spotlight: Aliza Hava

Aliza Hava is an award-winning, #1 charting artist/songwriter based in Southern Oregon whose music blends social advocacy, emotional truth, and powerful storytelling.

Known for singing truth to power, Aliza’s work moves through resilience, transformation, and change. Her album Into the Light, followed by the single The Invitation, continues a body of work shaped by clarity, courage, and purpose.

With songs like “The Only Way Out Is Through” and “When the Children Cry,” Aliza creates music that asks listeners to feel deeply, think honestly, and move toward the light.

Aliza is also preparing to publish her book, Into the Light: Ten Songs & Stories Transforming Trauma to Transformation, a musical companion to the album, while developing a live show that brings the stories and songs to the stage.

Artist Spotlight: D’Arcy Spiller

Sydney-based artist D’Arcy Spiller operates in the friction between confession and confrontation.

Her cinematic alt-pop sound is built from atmospheric layers, emotional tension, and a vocal presence that moves between restraint and raw intensity. Rooted in pop but textured with subtle Southern undertones, her music feels both ethereal and grounded, intimate and confrontational.

With evocative releases including “Wolf Blood,” “Crave,” “Curveball,” and the visceral lead single “Sick of You,” D’Arcy is building toward her 2026 full-length album, Human Enough.

D’Arcy Spiller does not simply write songs. She builds environments, pulling listeners into the blurred space between instinct, vulnerability, perception, and revelation.

We’re excited to welcome D’Arcy Spiller to EPKit.

Say hello to Shatner’s Bassoon, a six piece collective of composers and improvisers from Leeds who live in the space between composition, experimentation, and joyful disruption.

Since forming in 2010, they have toured the UK multiple times, released three albums on their own label Wasp Millionaire Records, received funding from PRSF and Arts Council England, and had their live work featured on BBC Jazz on 3. They were also selected by Jazz North as Jazz Ambassadors of the North through the Northern Line program.

Critics have called their work:
“Wistfully romantic… sounds like a monkey eating cornflakes”
“Remarkably beautiful… an incredible sight”
“Prepare to have your perceptions mangled”

Their music is intricate, restless, playful, and completely of its moment.

Band lineup:
Johnny Richards, keyboards and circuit bent delay
Ollie Dover, alto and bari sax, clarinet
Michael Bardon, bass and homemade synths
Craig Scott, guitar and homemade electronics
Joost Hendrickx, drums and percussion

We’re excited to have Shatner’s Bassoon on EPKit. Dive in and explore a band that refuses to sit still.

Our Mission

EPKit is made by people who've worked behind the curtain to help you take center stage.

With more than 30 years of combined music industry experience, we built EPKit to give independent artists the tools to present themselves confidently and authentically.

EPKit is a clean, powerful way for independent musicians to be seen on their own terms. No filters, no fluff, just a clear window into the art.

Your electronic press kit updates itself daily from Spotify, YouTube, and Bandsintown, so it always reflects where you are right now. Pitch tracking shows you who's looking, so following up is a decision instead of a guess. A contact option surfaces while people browse, so reaching out is effortless when interest is highest. Custom social share images keep your link looking right everywhere you post it. And an AI bio generator hands you a strong first draft in three lengths, so you're never staring at a blank page.

EPKit is free for every artist. Not a trial, not a teaser. Free.

Built by people who know this industry.

Because good music deserves to be heard.
