HOW IT ALL WORKS

This informational artist site provides radio programmers with your current promotional materials; broadcast-quality music, photos, bio, CD artwork, songwriters / publishing info, etc.
Once you have set up your artist site, the AirPlay Direct system will automatically build you a new electronic press kit, we refer to them as Digital Promo Kits / DPKs.
