Music blogs play a massive role in the industry, from giving artists a platform to creating a space for listeners to discover new music. I’m so honored to invite one of my first music industry friends, Jess Cambridge from Fierce & Fabulous Revolution, onto the show for an informative and lighthearted chat about running a music blog. Our conversation covers both the blogger and artist perspectives, so you’re in for a real treat.

The quote for this episode is by Lee Odden: “A blog is only as interesting as the interest shown in others.” During our conversation, Jess and I talk about showing interest in others and their work, choosing what content to share on a blog, giving independent artists a platform, pitch emails and what to do and not to do, press releases and EPKs, the artist sharing the story and inspiration behind their song for accuracy purposes while being reviewed, the process of running a music blog, submitting materials to bloggers in advance, remembering to be respectful, the importance of artists sharing their opportunities when someone gives them a platform, consistency and quality, target audience, and more. My conversation with Jess gives such an authentic glimpse into music blogs, and it’s full of priceless gems when it comes to pitching bloggers and other industry professionals. I had the best time having Jess on the show, so I hope you love listening.
