Doors Open: Everything New Since August (Product Update #3)

The doors are open

This is update three, and the first one since the beta ended. It covers a little over two months, because there was no September or October update. So there is a lot in it.

The headline isn't a feature. Since 29 October, anyone can sign up. No waitlist, no invite code.

If you'd rather watch it, the 74-second version is above.

1. Signup is open to everyone

Two fields: your email and your artist name. Or sign in with Google. If you're already on Beatport, Traxsource, SoundCloud or Spotify, start typing your name and claim the profile we already built for you.

2. You can see where your demo lands

Sending a demo used to feel like dropping it into a well. Now every demo tells you where it is:

• Delivered. You see when it reached the label's inbox.
• Opened. You see when they opened it.
• Still editable. Until they open it, you can fix your pitch. And you can rename your demos and library files.

The 14-day reply window still holds: if a label doesn't reply inside it, your credits come back on their own.

3. Signability stars

Some labels sign a handful of new names a year. Others sign new artists every month. Labels now carry one to five stars for how likely they are to sign a new name right now, next to your match score. The stars look at how actively a label releases, whether it signs smaller artists, and whether its demo inbox can be reached.

Aim high if you want to. When you pick a label that rarely signs new artists, a Send it here too panel suggests labels in your lane that rate four or five stars.

4. A press kit promoters can use

Your press kit grew up. It now carries:

• Your past bookings, grouped by country.
• A proper rider: your tech needs, hospitality, travel, all in one table.
• A stage plot that shows how your booth should be set up.

Promoters get everything in one link, and it still exports as a PDF.

5. More proof on your bio link

Your bio link now shows Last Played Live, so promoters can scroll back through the gigs you've already played. And fans go straight to your Beatport and Traxsource pages from it.

Plus three new languages

growyour.music now speaks Korean, Hindi and Turkish too.

New on growyour.music

A welcome to the artists who claimed their page since August:

Dave Mech · Mystigrix · Flawlesz · GOODFISHES · Siyou

Each of those is a live bio link. Go see what they've done with theirs.

On stage in Amsterdam

In October we pitched growyour.music on stage in Amsterdam. The story we told was the one this list tells: built with the artists who used it in beta and told us where it hurt. Thank you.
