Bio Writing Prompts

Short Bio (50 words):

• Who are you?
• What's your sound?
• What's your story in one sentence?

Long Bio (150 words):

• Origin story (where/when)
• Musical journey
• Sound description
• Recent achievements
• What's next

Sound Description Techniques

Help artists describe their sound without clichés:

const soundFramework = {
  influences: "If X met Y in a Z",
  mood: "Music for [activity/feeling]",
  texture: "Combining [element] with [element]",
  audience: "For people who love [artist] but want [twist]"
}

Outlet-Specific Pitching

Playlist Curators:

• Lead with track fit, not artist story
• Mention similar playlist tracks
• Keep under 100 words

Radio DJs:

• Personal connection if any
• Why this track fits their show
• Available for interview

Press/Blogs:

• Newsworthy angle
• Exclusive offer if possible
• High-res assets ready

Tone Refinement

• Remove clichés ("unique sound", "breaking boundaries")
• Add specificity (genres, influences, places)
• Preserve artist's authentic voice
• British spelling and phrasing
