What's insideย ๐Ÿ“–

Why likable beats good music now

AI makes more than half of the songs uploaded every day. What it can't make is a person people want to support.

The science of why people fall for an artist

Five findings from psychology, each turned into something you can use in your next post.

Who you are before how you look

Your story, your values, where you're going, and the "more than anyone else" exercise.

Your look, your colours and your voice

What people pick up about you without you saying it, and why you should stick with it longer than feels normal.

Seven habits of artists people love

None of them need money, and all of them get stronger the longer you do them.

Eight small artists, broken down

Noah Kahan, Ren, Laufey, Gigi Perez and four more: what they did before anyone helped them, and what you can copy.

Hey, I'm Finchย ๐Ÿ‘‹

After I finished studying marketing and business at university, I released my own music and helped other musicians with their marketing at the same time. Pretty quickly I found out I enjoyed helping them more than promoting myself.

Since then I've reviewed over 50,000 songs as a playlist curator, and more than 300 musicians have gone through my programs.

A lot of the best songs I heard went nowhere, and a lot of artists with a strong personality have fans who buy every ticket. This guide is about that part.
