How can you submit music to several Spotify Playlists at once as an independent artist? Here are 12 awesome curators that manage more than one playlist. All musicians can submit to these curators for free.
Playlists should be a part of all independent artists’ marketing strategy. One of the best ways to get streams and income as an independent artist is getting into a Spotify Playlist. Or Deezer, Apple Music, Tidal etc…
Omari’s Organic Spotify Promotion. Omari is a great choice if you want natural and organic. Managing Spotify promotions while also dealing with other obligations can be a real headache, especially when you know how other musicians make use of Spotify playlist pitching services. Such playlist pitching services allow clients to bypass the hard route, and quickly find themselves in the clearer waters of success.
But finding contact details and submission forms can be hard.
That’s why we created a shortcut for you.
But before we start…
Forget about pitching to Filtr, Digster and Topsify. These are owned by the majors (Sony, Warner & Universal) which means they’re very unlikely to feature independent music!
If you want to focus on writing music or find playlisting hard, sometimes all you need is someone speaking for you. If you have already released music via DistroKid and didn’t reach out as much as you would hope for, we can license your music to reach out. Read more.
