How to successfully pitch music to playlist curators

As well as sending your music to Spotify directly yourself, pitching your music to blogs and playlist curators is a crucial step in reaching a wider audience. When crafting your pitch, remember to be concise, compelling, and respectful of the curator's time. Start by researching their preferences and the type of music they feature to make sure your track is a good fit for their playlist.

After you've found contact details for your preferred sites, personalise your message by addressing curators by name and expressing your appreciation of their work.

Highlight the key aspects of your music - think genre, style, and your personal music story. The more effort you put into this before pitching, the better chance you stand of gaining more Spotify playlist followers.

You should also be providing clear links to your music and include a well-crafted press kit or EPK (electronic press kit) with all relevant info about your background, career achievements, and any notable magazine reviews or features.

Tip: Try searching '@hotmail.com' or 'gmail.com' in your Spotify search bar and check Playlists results to find independent playlist owner contact details.

Keep your message professional and always follow the curator's submission guidelines. A well-thought through and tailored submission pitch can massively increase your chances of securing a spot on their playlist.

Only work with legit playlist curators and sites

Although there are many independent playlist curators out there that do have your music's best interest at heart, you should also be wary of fraudulent playlist accounts.

To avoid landing on one of these and risk Spotify takedown, keep an eye out for playlists with steady Spotify growth as well as ones which are kept up to date with fresh tracks.

Streaming platforms like Spotify have specific teams in place to fight fraudulent playlists, with accounts and artists associated with these facing hefty penalties - including full removal from the platform. Basically, it's just not worth the risk.
