Giving your messages a personal touch lets the person know that you didn’t just spam them along with hundreds of other curators. Also, it’s important to personalize each message. Add some interesting points about your release, and all the links where your track can be found and listened to.

Include a short introduction about who you are and what you do. The first contact you have with a curator is very important, so take your time to prepare it. As time goes on, you can add new contacts and remove the ones that no longer curate playlists. This database will be the key to your promotion, and the more it grows, the more likely you are to get featured. Of course, this is just an example, you can organize your contact list however you feel works best. Then make a column for the curator name, the personal name of the contact you have, their email address, and a link of the playlist. Start by organizing your contacts to make it easier when pitching your new music. Now that you have a list of playlists you want to contact, what’s next? To get featured on one of our iMusician playlists, submit your music by filling out our quick form. If all goes well, this could land you a review, article, interview, or a placement in their playlist. If the playlist is curated by a webzine, magazine, or radio station, search for an email address to contact them, and pitch your upcoming release. Try searching playlists by genre or similar artists and see if you can find a contact form/email in the description. With so many playlists out there, you’re sure to find one that fits your style. However, you can contact smaller curators to try and get more exposure, building the hype for your release. But how do you get there?įor now, Deezer doesn’t have an app or form where you can pitch your upcoming single, ep, or album directly to the editorial team.

More plays means more revenue! If your track starts getting exposure from streams or fan-curated playlists, it is more likely to get the attention of the editors, taking you one step closer to getting featured on one of Deezer’s featured playlists. The more you get featured on playlists (big or small), the more chance you have of getting discovered.
