For many independent artists, releasing music can feel overwhelming. How do you get your music onto Spotify and streaming platforms? When should you start promoting it? How do playlist pitches work? What actually helps people discover your music?
This free workshop is a rare opportunity to hear directly from music distribution experts G.Y.R.O., who are delivering this session specifically for Central Australian artists as part of the Desert Fringe Festival Artist Industry Workshop Series.
