I will plan and audit your music release strategy and dsp campaign
About this Gig
Releasing music is rarely about doing more. Its about doing the right things in the right order.
I offer practical, experience-led guidance to help you plan or review a music release without hype, shortcuts, or unrealistic promises. This is advisory support focused on clarity, decision-making, and long-term sustainability.
Ive spent 15+ years working across labels and platforms including EMI Records, Ministry of Sound, SoundCloud, and CloudKid. I now work independently, supporting artists and small labels with release strategy, DSP planning, and music business infrastructure.
This gig is a good fit if you:
- feel unsure how to approach an upcoming release
- want to sanity-check your current plan
- are overwhelmed by promotion advice online
- want honest feedback grounded in industry reality
What this includes:
- Review of your release plan or idea
- DSP and platform-focused strategy guidance
- Clear priorities and next steps
- A written summary after our session
What this does not include:
- Guaranteed streams, playlists, or press
- Paid playlist placement or bots
- PR execution or ongoing management
If youre looking for thoughtful guidance and clear direction, Im happy to help.

FAQ
What do you need from me to get started?
A link to your music, details of the release you’re planning (or reviewing), and any specific questions or concerns you have. The clearer you are, the more useful this will be.
Do you guarantee streams, playlists, or press coverage?
No. Anyone offering guarantees is not being honest. I focus on strategy, positioning, and realistic next steps that support long-term growth.
Is this promotion or PR execution?
This is advisory support, not execution. I help you plan, prioritise, and make informed decisions rather than running campaigns or pitching on your behalf.
Is this suitable for first-time releases?
Yes. I work with both first-time releasers and experienced artists. I’ll meet you where you are and avoid overwhelming you with unnecessary information.
What genres do you work with?
Primarily alternative, indie, rock, punk, and adjacent genres, but the strategy principles apply across most independent music.
Can I ask follow-up questions after the session?
Each package includes a written session summary. If you want additional time to go deeper, you can add an extra call when booking.
Will you listen to my music?
Yes. I’ll listen in context of your goals and audience, not to judge taste or give production feedback.
Can you help with Spotify or DSP-specific questions?
Yes. DSP strategy and platform context are a core part of this service. However, I do not guarantee streams, playlisting or editorial placements.
