ADD-ONS

1) Wardrobe assistance

• Based on your music style and image, we will plan an overall direction for your wardrobe before the photo shoot. You may bring your wardrobe with you, or we'll plan a day of shopping.

2) Bio

• A well-written bio is often the first impression those in the music business may have of you. Following a comprehensive interview by one of our staff, we will write a bio that simply tells the story of you. We will craft your information in a very personal format, conveying a sense of who you are, where you’ve been and where you’re going. Our goal is to create an identity for you and define your musical style in such a way that readers will say, “I have to meet this person!”

3) Press release

• Once you are ready for a formal introduction, we will put together a press release to announce your new CD. Included in this release are the details of your CD, a brief glimpse of your biographical information and any upcoming performance dates you would like to highlight. A well-written press release is a tremendous tool for acquainting the media (and the public) with you.

4) One thousand (1000) 8 x 10 b&w headshots

• Using the photo of your choice, we will design a custom 8 x 10 headshot for use as a promotional tool.

5) Song search

• We'll help you find (and acquire the rights to) songs that suit your vocal ability and artistic vision. We will help you access catalogs of top Nashville songwriters to find songs that showcase you as an artist and make you commercially competitive.

6) One-sheet

• A one-sheet is an overall presentation of who you are as an artist. It includes a photo, your bio, endorsements and contact information. These are essential to include with your CDs to reviewers, radio stations and press.

7) Website

• If you don't already have a website to promote your music, we'll be glad to work with you to create one. It can be a very simple site (one or two pages, with your bio and contact information), or a comprehensive site where you can sell your music and merchandise, have forums, photo galleries, provide downloadable buddy icons, etc. We'll help you create a site to suit your needs at the moment, and in the future.

8) Full day (8-hour) photo shoot (with hair/makeup)

• Instead of a 4-hour photo session, you can opt for a full day shoot. You will receive 40 PhotoShop corrected/enhanced photos instead of 20.
