How to Build a Music EPK That Gets You Booked (2026)
An EPK should answer one question fast: should I work with this artist? Anything that doesn't move that decision forward is noise.
The 5 essentials
1) A short bio (under 200 words). 2) Hi-res press photo. 3) Streaming links. 4) Two career highlights with proof. 5) Contact email.
Where to host it
A single page on your website is best. PDF attachments rarely get opened. Tools like Sonicbids work, but a clean web page is faster.
Update it every release
An EPK with stats from 2 years ago signals an artist who isn't active.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a press quote?
Helpful but not required. A clear streaming or fanbase stat works just as well.
Should I include lyrics?
Only if a publication or sync agent specifically asks. Otherwise, cut them.
