How Can We Help?
Promoting music these days can be very tough and frustrating. Often when artists ask us why their music isn’t being seen by many people our answer is simple. They aren’t promoting right! An artist can have the best music in the world but if they aren’t promoting well, how will new people find their music? We created the services below to help with that problem. Depending on where the artist is in their career, DMV Access has services that the artist can use as tools to help promote their music to a bigger audience. A stranger on Facebook or Twitter is not likely to click on a sound cloud link they see in their newsfeed from an artist they have never even heard of before. If they see the artist featured in a DMV Access interview, article, cypher or show and understands the artists message, listens to clips of their songs in the video and feels like they got to know the artist through the video, they will be more likely to support the artist and become a new fan.
