• 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 Folk' rather than just 'Electronic' or 'Rock')
• Location: (City, Province)

2. High-Impact Visual

• Guidance: Place a high-quality promotional photo or the official cover art here. Ensure it reflects the mood of the music and meets the resolution standards for print media.

3. The 'Elevator Pitch' Bio

• The Hook: A 1-2 sentence summary of who you are and what this release represents to the listener.
• The Detail: A 100-word paragraph highlighting your musical journey, unique sound, and key influences. Mention any Canadian roots or local scenes you are part of.

• Live Highlights: Notable venues (like The Horseshoe Tavern or MTELUS) or festivals you have played.

5. The Music (Links)

• Video: (Link to an official music video or high-quality live session)

6. Technical Specifications

• Label: (Independent or Label Name)
• ISRC/UPC: (Crucial for radio tracking and retail. Use our ISRC Code Generator & Validator if you need to verify your codes)
• Focus Track: Identify the main track for radio programmers.

7. Contact & Socials

• 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 festival bookers rarely read full paragraphs; they look for keywords.
2. Update Frequently: A one-sheet with '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 an account login. Use The Musical Road to create seamless, trackable links that show you who is actually listening and where they are located.
