Published

on

With less than three months left in 2024, Alex Jean continues to prove your network is your net worth. As if headlining the Future Legacy Showcase at Hard Rock Cafe wasn’t enough, Jean ended his week in Nashville for the 55th Annual GMA Dove Awards as not just a nominee but a winner for his contribution to Hulvey’s “Love Like That” alongside Torey D’Shaun. The moment was cemented by the Florida native and Torey accepting the highly coveted accolade on stage while the new father gleamed with gratitude over FaceTime.

Continuing to keep the wheels turning on his More Than Gold EP campaign, he recently visited Gabe P’s music discovery platform On The Radar as well as Sirius XM’s Holy Culture Radio show Da Fixx Squad. The knockout punch for the Alienz Alive ‘Rookie of The Year’ was extended to all challengers when Ryan Spann chose to walk out to “Stronger Than Ever” for his UFC victory over Ovince Saint Preux.

As an independent artist, standing out in today’s crowded music scene can be tough. We’ve all been there, right? You’ve got talent, you’ve got drive, but sometimes it feels like your music just isn’t reaching the right people. So, how do you get noticed? The answer lies in effective music promotion—and I’m here to share a few key tools that can help you make a real impact.

1. Playlist Placements: Your Music’s New Best Friend

Spotify is the #1 streaming platform for millions of music lovers, and landing on the right playlists can do wonders for your exposure. But it’s not just about getting on any playlist—it’s about getting on the playlists that will put your music in front of the ears that matter.

Tip: Reach out to playlist curators in your genre, and don’t be afraid to pitch your music. The right placement can mean a boost in streams, followers, and opportunities with DJs and influencers.

How I Help: I specialize in helping indie artists like you get their tracks on curated playlists with thousands of engaged listeners. If you want to maximize your visibility on Spotify, this is one tool you don’t want to overlook.


2. Mixtape Features: Get Your Music Heard by New Audiences

Mixtapes are a great way to reach people who may not have discovered your music otherwise. But how do you get your tracks on a mixtape? It’s all about building relationships with DJs and music platforms that can feature your tracks.

Tip: Start by connecting with DJs and mixtape curators who specialize in your genre. They’re always looking for fresh music to feature, and this could be your chance to get in front of thousands of potential fans.

How I Help: Through my Mixtape Hosting service, I ensure your music gets the right spotlight, connecting you to the platforms and curators who will give you that much-needed exposure.


3. Social Media Engagement: Building Real Connections with Your Fans

You’ve probably heard it a million times: social media is essential for growing your brand. But here’s the thing—it’s not enough to just post content and hope for the best. You need to engage with your followers, respond to comments, share behind-the-scenes moments, and build genuine relationships.

Tip: Be consistent and authentic. Show up regularly on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter to keep your fans engaged. Use interactive features like polls, Q&As, and live sessions to make your followers feel involved.

How I Help: Social media is key to promoting your music, and I provide exposure across my own channels with over 10K+ followers. By tapping into my network, you can get your music seen and heard by the right audience.


4. Email Lists: The Power of Direct Connection

One of the most underrated tools in music promotion is an email list. When you have direct access to your fans’ inboxes, you can send them exclusive content, updates, and calls to action that social media platforms just can’t replicate.

Tip: Start building your email list now. Offer free downloads, exclusive content, or behind-the-scenes footage in exchange for sign-ups. Over time, this will become one of your most powerful tools for connecting directly with your fans.

How I Help: While email lists take time to grow, my services offer quick visibility on platforms that boost your streams, fanbase, and engagement—helping you build your list faster.


The Power of Getting Noticed: What’s Next for Your Music?

When it comes down to it, getting noticed as an indie artist is all about creating visibility. But it takes more than just talent—it’s about using the right tools to help get your music out to the right audience. Whether it’s through playlist placements, mixtape features, or social media exposure, every little piece adds up.

I offer a range of services designed to help indie artists like you get seen and heard. From mixtape hosting to Spotify placements, my goal is to help you grow your fanbase, build streams, and get your music in front of more people.
