EPK

One EPK. Every promoter.

The EPK is the press kit a promoter asks for: bio to copy, photos and logos at full size, riders as PDF, contacts to save, one zip of all of it. You send one link, and every promoter opens the version you saved last.

Claim a handle How it works
Who opens it

A promoter asks. You send one link.

The programme needs a bio and two photos by Friday. The EPK has them at full size, with the bio under a copy button and the contacts ready to save.

Bio

Copy, not download. A promoter wants the words in their paste buffer. The bio sits under a Copy button, the notes under the bio.

Photos, logos and riders

Full size, as you uploaded them. A thumbnail opens the file. Each section downloads as a zip; Download all at the top puts everything in one.

Contacts

Who to write to, and a card to save. Booking, press, management. From your team or typed in. Each with Email, Call and Save contact for the address book.

Before and after

Five copies, or one profile.

Today your bio lives in five places and each goes stale on its own. On TAP it lives once. Every promoter who opens the link reads the version you saved last.

Before. Five copies, five dates, nobody sure which one is right.

After. One profile, one link. Edit the artist and the EPK shows it.

What is on it

Only what has content.

A section without content is not shown, so an EPK with no riders has no empty Riders heading. Top to bottom, when everything is filled in:

1 Facts Genre, origin, how you perform, set length, label, agent, releases and where you played, one row each. First on the page.
2 Intro One paragraph to open with, with a copy button. Above the bio.
3 Bio With a copy button. A promoter wants the words in their paste buffer, not a file.
4 Notes Stage name, line-up, what to say on the bill. Under the bio.
5 Press quotes What the press wrote, with the publication, the author and the date under it, with a copy button. Under the notes.
6 Photos At full size and at their own shape. The section downloads as a zip.
7 Videos Your YouTube videos, live sets first, playing on the page. After the photos.
8 Logos PNG with transparency or a vector file. Same thumbnails, same zip.
9 Riders Technical rider, stage plot, hospitality rider and input list, as PDF. Each opens in a new tab.
10 Contacts Booking, press, management. Each with Email, Call and Save contact, a card for the address book.
11 Download all One zip at the top: the facts, intro, bio, notes, quotes and channels as text, the contacts as cards, the files in folders.
12 Print Print the page and the nav and buttons disappear. The heading becomes the artist's name and EPK.
Where it sits

The same profile as the website.

The EPK reads the artist. Nothing on it is typed twice: the bio, the photos and the contacts are the ones the website and the links page show.

Who finds it

Sent, not found.

An EPK is for the promoter you send it to. Search engines list it, and your other pages link to it, only when you set it so anyone can find it.

Anyone with the link, the default The address works for whoever has it. Search engines stay out, and nothing on the website or the links page points to it.
Anyone can find it Set the EPK so anyone can find it. The pill in the bar of the EPK section sets who can find it. The website gets an Open EPK button, the links page a row at its foot, and search engines list it like any other page.
Only people you give access Visitors see your name. A link you hand out opens the page, riders included. On Access you choose the door: anyone can ask and you decide, or invitation only.
Off The address stops answering, and links you handed out stop working.
While it is being updated Remove the last press photo and a published artist shows one sentence instead of a 404, until a photo is back.
