Rooted in 11+ years of growing a multimedia and educational ecosystem for independent musicians, 'Perfect Your Pitch: Building Authentic Connections as an Independent Artist' is the quintessential guide for up-and-coming musicians building their artist platforms. We walk through the steps of developing your authentic artist brand, connecting to your audience, and using the momentum gained to find opportunities in media, live performance, and partnerships while building a sustainable, profitable creative ecosystem—on their own terms.
