Your EPK.

Every claimed artist gets an auto-generated EPK (electronic press kit) at /a/<slug>/press. The page renders from your profile data — bio, photos, show calendar, streaming links — into one of nine compositionally distinct layouts you can switch between from your page.

Updated May 16, 2026

What

The EPK is the page bookers ask for.

When a venue's talent buyer asks for your EPK, they want a single URL with everything they need to make a booking decision in under 3 minutes.

That includes: your one-liner, a press bio (2-3 paragraphs), high-resolution photos, your top tracks, upcoming + past show dates, social links, and contact info. Your out4 EPK assembles all of this automatically from data you already filled in for your profile.

Note

No separate editing required
You don't maintain a parallel EPK profile. Edit your artist page, and the press page — and everything press downloads from it — updates automatically.

How

How the page gets generated.

Three steps, all automatic.

1. Pull from your profile

We use whatever you filled out: bio, photos, location, genre tags, streaming links, booking link. If a field is empty, that section is hidden on the EPK page rather than rendered with a placeholder.

2. Render through the cadence

You pick a cadence (layout) from the vibe row in your page's edit panel. Each cadence is a fundamentally different visual treatment — not a color theme, but different proportions, hierarchies, and ornaments. See the 9 layouts below.

3. Apply your overrides

Whatever palette, typography, and radius you set on your artist page overrides the cadence's defaults. So two artists picking the same cadence end up with visibly different pages.

Layouts

9 cadences, each a different aesthetic.

Pick one from your page's edit panel. You can change it any time.

A quick taxonomy

Some pair better with specific genres, but they're all general-purpose — feel free to pick whichever speaks to you.

  • press-sheet — Editorial, masthead-styled. Old-print-magazine feel.
  • gradient-statement — Bold gradient, big type. Pop / RnB / electronic.
  • photo-led — Full-bleed photo hero, sparse text.
  • hazard-spec — Industrial hazard stripes + technical-spec layout. Punk / metal / techno.
  • jcard-sleeve — Cassette J-card layout with numbered tracklist.
  • deep-field — Cosmic / astronomical, with star-field backdrop.
  • biomimetic — Network-node and hyphae motifs. Experimental / ambient.
  • soft-essay — Centered prose column, italic hero. Folk / singer-songwriter.
  • console-spec — Audio-engineering surface, peak-meter gauges. Producers / mix engineers.

Downloads

What press actually downloads.

Send the link — /a/<slug>/press. Everything a booker or a journalist needs to take away is on it.

  • Print / Save as PDF — the button at the top of your press page. It prints the page itself, in your vibe's typeface and accent on a clean white sheet, and every browser's print dialog can save that straight to a PDF. Because it is the page, it is never out of date and never a different document to the one you shared.
  • Press kit (.zip) — one archive with your press photos at full resolution, your logo, a plain-text BIO.txt a journalist can paste, and your technical rider and stage plot if you have uploaded them. It is offered only when there is something in it.
  • Rider and stage plot on their own — separate rows in the Downloads section, for the production manager who wants one file rather than the whole archive.

Tip

Photos go in the zip only if they live on out4. A gallery of links pasted from Instagram or Dropbox has nothing we can bundle, so upload your press shots here and they come back as the untouched originals.

Audience

Who actually reads your EPK.

Knowing the reader keeps the content honest. Three audiences, mostly.

  • Talent buyers / bookers. They want: capacity- appropriate signal (have you sold out a 200-cap room?), genre fit, tour history. Your show calendar is the most important section for this reader.
  • Festival programmers / curators. They want: a coherent aesthetic, a one-line story, and photos that look good at festival-poster scale.
  • Journalists / blogs. They want: a tight bio they can quote, high-res photos for the article, and a way to listen (Spotify / Bandcamp link).

Note

Bio length
Aim for ~250 words for the press bio. Bookers won't read a wall of text; journalists need enough material to quote without copy-pasting. If you have more to say, link out to a longer page from the bio.
