When it comes to releasing your music, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of finally having a finished product. However, rushing into a release can be one of the biggest mistakes you can make as an artist. At JP Music, we've seen this happen time and time again with the artists we work with in our sessions of guidance.
The ideal time to plan your release is at least five weeks in advance. This may seem like a long time, but it's essential to consider the time it takes for distributors to deliver your music to streaming platforms, which can take anywhere from a few days to 12-14 business days. From there, it takes additional time for the platforms to process and schedule your music for release.
Additionally, if you're planning to pitch your music to Spotify editors, it's best to do so at least four weeks before your release date. This will give you enough time to make any necessary adjustments and ensure that your music is ready for its debut.
By planning your release with strategy and anticipation, you can avoid the common pitfalls that many artists fall into and set yourself up for success. At JP Music, we're here to help you every step of the way.
