WYNK SHUT DOWN BY AIRTEL

WYNK SHUT DOWN BY AIRTEL Wynk, the streaming platform launched by Airtel, shuts down. It has recently come to people’s attention that leading Indian telecom supplier Airtel has shut down a streaming platform it was operating, Wynk. This decision to shut down wynk is consistent with company’s long-term plans of rationalizing its digital portfolio and delving deeply into the telecommunications business. Wynk was launched in the year 2014 and was most popular owing to its colourful list of content which included music, movies , TV shows and live sports. This platform was designed to fulfill entertainment need Airtel users by giving them an opportunity to stream the content flexibly while enjoying their current mobile tariffs. Despite this development, the app initially spiked its popularity but the increasingly competitive nature in the digital space and the rising influence of foreign streaming platforms to alter the progress of the application. Moreover, the low percentage of subscribed listeners made a heavy impact on the platforms economical standpoint, as it did not make commercial sense to continue running it without a clear monetisation plan. The reason that has led Airtel to shutdown Wynk is tied up with their strategic perspective regarding where they want to invest and how they see the digital world evolving. Airtel has not even given a clear statement about the plans that are available for the existing subscribers touching on issues to do with compensation and other benefits. However, one should fade the expectation that an adequate intervention measure will be provided by the company to any inconvenience resulted from the shutdown. As Wynk is shut down, Airtel will shift the focus on providing value added services mainly focusing on its telecommunication services along with emphasizing on its other strategic business directions by collaborating with Apple Music as spokesperson from Airtel informed the press “We can confirm that we will sunset Wynk Music and all Wynk music employees will be absorbed within the Airtel ecosystem,” the spokesperson said, soon after Bharti Airtel announced a tie up with Apple Inc to bring exclusive offers for OTT video and music streaming services, Apple TV+ and Apple Music for Indian users.

DO’S and DON’TS for your music promotion on streaming platforms

DO’S and DON’TS for your music promotion on streaming platforms Each artist dreams about having a rich amount of listener base, and rely on music promotion but some of them remains unaware of the fact that there are rules and regulations regarding promoting and increasing the stream count, which may cost them their own song, if done with the help of unfair method. The WRONG way to do music promotion on streaming platforms DO NOT BUY STREAMS Numerous deceptive services are available, claiming to offer the opportunity to “purchase streams” on popular music platforms like Spotify or JioSaavn Music. Some may even claim that they provide authentic streams with no negative impact on your music. However, this is obviously false, so it’s best to stay clear. In fact, avoid engaging with any service that promises streams or playlist spots in return for payment. These companies rely to deceptive methods such as click farms to generate streams for those who pay. Illegitimately obtaining streams like this results to fraudulent activity because real money is earned from these streams. Associating fake streams with your music typically leads to the removal of your music from platforms permanently, also known as “takedown.” The crucial advice remains: don’t fall for the temptation of fake streams. It’s never a worthwhile choice. DO NOT OVERPLAY YOUR MUSIC You might be fascinated to boost your streaming numbers by repeatedly playing your own music, but again, don’t overdo it. Sure, enjoying your own tracks is okay, even if it’s multiple times in a day. However, excessively leaving it on repeat without genuine listening just to manipulate the numbers isn’t the ideal way to celebrate your song. It’s a rather duplicitous and unethical approach to increase your stream count. Streaming platforms are familiar with these strategies. So, they’ll catch on and might take action, possibly resulting in the removal of your music altogether. The RIGHT way to do music promotion on streaming platforms Use your streaming analytics QUICK TIP – Don’t forget to register for Spotify for Artists and Apple Music for Artists. Companies like Spotify and Apple Music offer specialized artist services, providing insights into how your music performs on their platforms. These tools are invaluable for artists, helping them understand their music’s success, its audience reach, and the most effective strategies. Additionally, when you release music online through ForeVision Digital, you gain access to comprehensive reports and overall analytics on your personal artist dashboard. Submit to playlists Getting your track featured on a playlist can have a massive impact on your presence on streaming platforms. Some playlists have millions of followers, and being included can bring you significant exposure and potentially boost your streaming numbers, and that will be authentic. It’s important to note that it’s not just about landing on the largest playlists. While being featured on an official playlist with millions of followers is fantastic, being on smaller playlists can also enhance your presence on streaming platforms, you got to start somewhere, right? The Spotify Discover Weekly playlist algorithm takes data from every playlist across the platform into account when choosing songs for its users. Hence, every playlist counts, regardless of its follower size. Share & add the link everywhere The old school method, share your song and let public do their magic, just do not forget to add links from different major streaming platforms which will let the algorithm. Spotify and Apple Music love it when you drive listener’s to them from “off-platform”. So make sure to share links to your tracks across all your social media pages. You can contact us if you want an embedded link to all of the platform links.‍ Do you have any questions about music streaming promotion tactic or techniques?

What is an EPK and how to create 1?

What is an EPK and how to create one ? EPK serves as a centralized, organized, and professionally presented representation of an artist’s work. This tool is essential for networking, promotion, and pursuing diverse opportunities within the music industry. An EPK or Electronic Press Kit can become handy for musicians who are looking for Credibility, Booking opportunities, Festival and Shows, Labels, Sponsorship and Endorsements, Streamlined Communication, Radio Play, Online Presence. What should be included in an EPK? A well-structured band EPK should hold all the elements required by the press to readily access the materials necessary for featuring your latest music or project. Details like: 1. Artist bio Start off with sentences that say who you are, and mention your genre of music, plus a recent accomplishment. This serves as your elevator pitch, a brief introduction you might use when introducing yourself in person, paint a clear picture about you 2. Promotional photos Next thing to put into an EPK is high-quality photos, an image in landscape orientation, leaving some empty space around the main subject (which is you), is recommended to enhance the professional appearance of your visuals on social media platforms or music review websites, as it allows for potential cropping while maintaining a polished look. 3. Music Because your EPK represents your musical identity, select your most popular tracks. A promoter or music supervisor might be unfamiliar with your music, and their attention span may be limited to just a brief listen to your initial tracks. Therefore, it’s important to include songs that you believe represent your talents effectively. 4. Video If you intend to utilize your EPK to secure performance opportunities, ensure you attach live videos. This way, venues or event organizers can experience your live performance firsthand through both sight and sound. If you are using EPK to promote a new album, including a lyric or music video for a track from the album can be an effective strategy to enhance audience/editor/producer’s engagement. 5. Press and reviews Reviews contribute to the idea of realness and provide motivation for listeners to engage with the music, indicating its value. Articles that writes about banger stage performance might lead to bigger shows and events. Remember, do not overwhelm the reader with all these but just let them know about your presence. 6. Highlights and achievements You can showcase your musical achievements by mentioning any awards you’ve achieved, your presence on radio, or your accomplishments on prominent streaming platforms and YouTube. Don’t forget to mention if you’ve had the opportunity to tour with a major artist or participate in significant festivals in this section of your EPK. The intention behind showcasing your musical achievements is to generate excitement and increase visibility for both your music and your identity as a performer. 7. Social and streaming links Establish links to your social media profiles on platforms like Instagram, Youtube, Spotify, JioSaavn or your website if those are the places where you possess a larger fan base. Let them know that you are presentable on both on and off the stage. 8. Contact information Merge comprehensive contact details on your EPK page is a crucial component. Having all this information conveniently accessible in a single location benefits media outlets and booking agents.

How to write a song – 6 simple but awesome songwriting steps

How to write a song – 6 simple but awesome song writing steps Here are some ways about how to write a song in effective way and in short time period, as writing a song with catchy hooks, easy-to-remember lines and creative lyrics can be challenging. Every songwriters go through writer’s block at some point in their career, and there are many different approaches to deal with it and improve the process. 1. How to start writing your song Starting the process of songwriting is often the most challenging aspect. For certain individuals, beginning with the development of the primary melody or central chorus of the song is regarded as their writing style for crafting the rest of that track. Once the hook or key chord progression has been established, the rest of the song can be written or composed around it. 2. Lyrics matter When it comes to music composition, lyrics take center stage – a key factor in increasing your music royalties. Crafting compelling lyrics can be a daunting task, especially for budding songwriters, ForeVision Digital makes sure that the song writers get their deserved exposure as well through Musicxmatch. To kickstart your lyric-writing process, having a clear concept of your song’s message is crucial. Start by outlining your lyrical goals and then work with the rhythm, structure, and cadence to harmonize with your melody. A catchy lyrical hook for your chorus is crucial, allowing you to build verses and bridges that revolve around your central theme.  3. Write from experience As obvious as it may sound, some of history’s best or popular songs are about personal experiences, with artists drawing on real-life events to show their creativity. Whether you’ve been through hard times or great times, you can use your life experiences to some best use. Put those feelings into a song you can be proud of. 4. Don’t overthink it Musicians and songwriters frequently tend to be overly critical of their own work. To make progress in the music industry, it’s crucial to maintain a balanced mindset. While it’s beneficial to analyze and refine your songs, it’s equally essential to let your creativity flow without overthinking. Overanalyzing can slower your progress. Start by capturing the core of your song, and remember that you can always make adjustments later. Embrace the creative process. 5. Collaborate with other musicians If you’re facing writer’s block (everyone does once in their lifetime!), then collaborating with other musicians can bring new opportunities, a great way to break the block and get a fresh hand on your track. Show them what you’ve you’ve learnt so far, discuss any new ideas they might suggest, and see what comes out of it. Getting an extra perspective on your track from a fellow musician won’t do any bad. 6. Ask for feedback It’s easy to lose sight of how good or bad your song is after you’ve spent hours and hours working, changing and creating it by yourself. So find someone you trust to give honest advice, and who’s opinion you value, and ask them to critique it for you. You might find they have some fantastic insight into how to write a song or how it could be improved. Don’t play it for someone who might be afraid to be honest with you – you want honest opinions, not any fake promises.
