SUBMIT YOUR MUSIC
ARTISTS HELPING ARTISTS
I am a Christian music artist, I release music regularly and am pursuing music full time. “Then why are you putting other artist’s music on your site..?”. I believe that community is one of the most valuable yet underrated and overlooked resources in the music industry. So this resource is intended to help other Christian artists, and to offer value to the music community.
By Featuring you on a blog post here on my website as well as a playlist placement on my Spotify account; my hope and my prayer is that this will help you as an artist gain exposure and build awareness around your music. As my following and music grows my hope is that it will also benefit and help other artists, like yourself.
I can’t wait to hear your amazing music and I am honored that you would allow me to serve you. Submit using the form below and let’s get started today. Be sure to follow me on social media and on Spotify.

WHY YOU NEED THIS:
”Spotify is everything”, is one of the biggest lies an up and coming artists believes. One of the biggest issues they face is lack of “exposure” or awareness of them and their music. Having a strong online presence is what separates you from the guy who pays $1000 for a 6 week Spotify campaign but nobody has any idea who he is.
This blog will benefit your SEO (Search Engine Optimization), provides a letter of “reference” (adds credibility when pitching to venues, blogs, etc), better online presence, smaller playlists mean guaranteed listeners, etc.
COST: $5
WHAT YOU GET: Placement on my playlist(s), feature on my blog, song review. See example here.
GENRES I ACCEPT:
Christian, Gospel, CCM, Worship,
**If your music does not fit any of these genres but is Christian, feel free to submit it. The purpose of this blog is to help all Christian artists so it will more than likely get accepted.
Thank you, please refer a friend and come again with more awesome music! Be sure to tag me on social media if you happen to share your blog on social media, I’d love to share it.
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Blake Reynolds
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
EXPECTATIONS
By no means do I consider my Spotify to be the most regarded and most popular. However, research has shown that being added to smaller listener playlists is just as valuable to an artist as the larger playlists. “Big fish little pond”, “Less Skips”. Larger playlists is great for “clout” but if your song is featured on a large Spotify playlist sandwiched between artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, etc you are more likely to be skipped over. You can read one of many studies here on this subject. Being featured on my site improves your online presence and SEO ranking. Playlists are not everything.
PRIVACY & CONFIDENTIALITY
Your personal information will not be shared or disclosed with anyone.
WHAT YOU ARE AND ARE NOT PAYING FOR
You are paying for a music review and blog feature. You are not paying for placement on my Spotify playlist, this is against the terms and conditions of Spotify. You are paying to be featured on my blog and for a review. The Spotify placement is a bonus.
ACCEPTED MUSIC
Christian, gospel, CCM, worship. Please note that I only accept Christian songs, while I appreciate all music, both secular and christian and the artistry involved, my audience is primarily a christian demographic.
