What Makes a Great Bio

• Lead with who you are and what you sound like.
• Include accomplishments (even indie milestones).
• Use mood and genre keywords for better searchability.

 Template:
“[Your Name] is a [City]-based [Genre] artist blending [Style A] and [Style B]. Known for [distinctive element], they’ve built a loyal following with songs like ‘[Track]’ and performances at [Venue/Event].”

Extras That Matter

• Canvas (looping videos): Short, vertical 8-second loop that plays during your song. Adds professionalism and engagement.
• Storyline (song text panel): Add lyrics, stories, or background per track.
• Merch & Tickets: If you use Shopify or Songkick, you can connect merch or shows directly.
