The Industry-Standard One-Sheet Structure

Copy and paste the structure below into your own document or use it as a checklist for our Professional Music Press Kit Generator.


1. Header: The Essentials

  • Artist Name: (Large, bold font)
  • Release Title: (Single/EP/Album Name)
  • Release Date: (DD/MM/YYYY)
  • Genre/Sub-genre: (Be specific, e.g., 'Melodic Techno' or 'Indie Surf' rather than just 'Electronic' or 'Rock')
  • Location: (City, State/Territory)

2. High-Impact Visual

  • Guidance: Place a high-quality promo photo or the official cover art here. Ensure it reflects the mood of the music and is high-resolution for press downloads.

3. The 'Elevator Pitch' Bio

  • The Hook: A 1-2 sentence summary of who you are and what this release represents.
  • The Detail: A 100-word paragraph highlighting your musical journey, unique sound, and key influences. Keep it punchy.

4. Key Selling Points (Social Proof)

  • Press Quotes: "The most exciting sound out of Melbourne this year" — Example Magazine
  • Radio/Playlist Support: Mention any previous support from triple j, Double J, community radio (like FBi or RRR), or major Spotify editorial playlists.
  • Live Highlights: Notable venues (e.g., The Enmore, The Forum) or festivals (Splendour, Laneway) you have played.
  • Private Stream: (SoundCloud/Dropbox link for unreleased music—ensure it's not a download-only link)
  • Public Links: (Spotify/Apple Music if already released)
  • Video: (Link to an official music video or high-quality live session via YouTube/Vimeo)

6. Technical Specifications

  • Label: (Independent or Label Name)
  • ISRC/UPC: (Crucial for radio reporting and retail tracking). Use our ISRC Code Generator & Validator if you're missing these.
  • Focus Track: Identify the main track for radio programmers.

7. Contact & Socials

  • Management/Booking: Name and Email.
  • Social Links: Clean icons for Instagram, TikTok, and X (Twitter).

Pro-Tips for a Better One-Sheet

  1. Keep it Scannable: Use bullet points. Industry pros and music directors rarely read full paragraphs.
  2. Update Frequently: A one-sheet mentioning 'Upcoming Tour: Summer 2022' looks amateur in 2024. Use our Music Release Planner & Management Software to keep your timeline fresh.
  3. Check Your Links: Ensure your private stream links don't require a password or account login. Use The Musical Road to create seamless, trackable links that show you exactly who is listening and where.
