Thoughts on Artist Development and Media Relations

• To do artist development well, you really have to concentrate on it
• Develop a strategy to build longevity for the artist and the piece of music you’re trying to promote
• The narrative informs every aspect of who an artist is, and who an artist is really drives the media.
• Social media is NOT just telling people what you have for them to buy, or what you had for lunch

Questions Artists Need to be Asking

• Why do you matter?
• What is your truth?
• What are you offering someone?
• What kind of culture are you creating around yourself as an artist?

Woman Walk the Line: How the Women in Country Music Changed Our Lives

• The process of selecting artists and contributors
