5 Publicity Tips Every Unsigned Artistes Should Follow Yesterday, I published an article about artistes making sure to get a PR (Public relations) team in their fold and even listed out the many benefits they stand to gain from doing this. Not long after this post was published, I began receiving so many messages from upcoming acts asking for ways they can still manage to get their music heard without having to employ a PR Team just yet (For obvious reasons). Most acts in the upper echelon of the industry have little or no time whatsoever to listen to a newbie in the game, the music business is what I like to call a private club, you are either in or out. Having to use the ‘Black Art’ of the music industry is no easy task, but again, the key word is try, try, try, until someone listens.(Of course, your work has to be good). Here are 5 PR tips every unsigned/upcoming acts can use to promote their brand/sound. EPK (Electronic press kit) : This is high...

One half of music group, Psquare, Peter Okoye,  sat down for an interview with HipTV,m where he talked about the Psquare. According to Peter, it hurts his feelings a lot knowing the amount if sacrifice he put into structuring the group only to be merely tagged a dancer. In his words: I don’t think there are so much challenges because even on tour as P Square, I was the one doing the whole structure and trying to get things done properly.I will say it in-front of the camera .I do a lot.But for me, there is no challenge because I say the things that I know .I say the things that I let people know. I’ve been a creative person.I’m a very very creative person but people still look at me as a dancer.It hurts but at the end of the day, I’m still a very creative person.\ http://tooxclusive.com/news/peter-okoye-talks-psquare-new-interview/
