Releasing your first set of songs is a thrilling step towards your musical journey. To help you navigate this exciting process I've provided five key steps to ensure your debut is nothing short of spectacular.Your source for community, connection and resources.

1. Just Drop It: Unleash Your Debut Single

The first step in any musical endeavor is often the most exhilarating. Don't overthink it, just drop your first single! Release it across all major platforms and watch it find its way into the ears of eager listeners. After the release, spend time creating content inspired by your favorite artists. Share insights, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and personal anecdotes related to the single. This not only keeps your audience engaged but also gives them a deeper connection to your music.

2. Timing is Everything: Space Out Your Releases

Consistency is key to success. Aim to release new tracks consistently, with about six weeks between each drop. This spacing allows your audience to fully absorb and appreciate each release. Simultaneously, use this time to create engaging content around each song. Share sneak peeks, lyric breakdowns, or stories that inspired the music. This build-up adds excitement and anticipation, ensuring your next release is eagerly awaited.

PRO TIP: Make a posting strategy for social media that works for you.

1. Choose a realistic amount of posts to make - keep in mind you don't have to post every day - focus instead on what you can post.
2. Create content that engages your audience. Ask them for feedback on your track. Invite them to share your song.
3. Utilize the DMs to get the word out. Ask people you like, know and trust to personally share it.

3. EP or Album: Choose Your Release Format

Consider whether you want to present your music as an EP (Extended Play) or an album. An EP typically consists of 3 to 5 tracks, offering a succinct introduction to your sound. On the other hand, an album provides a more comprehensive showcase of your artistic range. Choose the format that best aligns with your artistic vision and the story you want to tell through your music.

4. Keep It Simple: Quality Over Complexity

Remember, your debut doesn't need to be an extravagant production. Focus on creating music that resonates with your audience. It's not about intricate layers or complex arrangements; it's about capturing emotions and delivering a memorable listening experience. Embrace simplicity and let the essence of your music shine through.

5. Engage, Listen, and Learn: Connect with Your Audience

Your audience is your biggest asset. Engage with them, listen to their feedback, and learn from their responses. Use social media platforms, live streams, and fan meet-ups to foster a sense of community. Ask for their thoughts on your music and take their feedback to heart. This interaction not only strengthens your connection with your fans but also provides valuable insights for your future projects.

Releasing your first set of songs is a monumental milestone in your journey as an EDM artist. Embrace the process, stay true to your unique sound, and most importantly, have fun along the way. Remember, it's not just about the music; it's about the experience you create for your audience. So, get ready to drop those beats and let the world hear your electrifying sound!
