⏳ Consistent characters in AI music videos

This week, I'm sharing a deeply personal story about knowing when to step back and reassess your path, plus a game-changing AI prompt for building real industry connections, a breakthrough tool for consistent character creation in music videos, and the latest AI music news!

The Last Gig Before Corporate

Back in 2010, I played a small intimate show in West London at the Troubadour that changed everything.

I was nervous. Felt pressure. For some odd reason, I didn't want to go up on stage.

The pure joy of creating music was overtaken by thinking "I need to be up there."

That night made me realize something crucial: If you do something, you need to be in it.

You can't force anything - you have to want it to reach your goals.

Just like in business, sometimes passion becomes obligation, and that's when you lose the magic.

That one performance made me realize I needed a change.

A change to explore what else is out there.

Sometimes you have to take one step back to figure out what you really want.

Have you ever had a moment where you realized you were going through the motions instead of following your passion?

Now, let’s cut to the chase:

How to do 10x better strategic music outreach research

Getting your music heard is tough. You create amazing tracks, but finding the right people to listen to them feels impossible.

The music industry is all about relationships and knowing where to submit your work.

This is the essence of Strategic Music Outreach Research.

This method helps you build targeted lists of Spotify playlist curators, music blogs, and indie labels that actually accept submissions in your genre and location.

Instead of sending blind emails to random contacts, you get verified submission processes with real contact details.

What if you could skip the guesswork and connect directly with people who want to hear your music?

You can build a database of active industry contacts who are genuinely looking for new artists.

Here's how it works:

1. Define your two target genres and location

2. Research active curators, blogs, and labels in those areas

3. Verify they accept submissions with current evidence

4. Collect submission guidelines and contact information

5. Organize everything into actionable outreach lists

Stop wasting time on dead-end submissions.

Try this research method today and start building real industry connections.

The best time to research is before you finish your next track, so you're ready to submit immediately.

Use this prompt to build your music industry contact database:

(I also added it to my FREE AI prompt library)

Act like a professional music industry researcher specializing in building outreach lists for artists and artist managers. 

Objective: Your task is to identify and present a detailed, accurate, and up-to-date list of Spotify playlist curators, music blogs, and independent record labels that **actively accept music submissions** for two specific genres and in a specific location. The genres and location will be provided by the user.

Instructions:

Step 1: Carefully note the two genres (e.g., Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, Electronica, Jazz, etc.) and the location (e.g., UK, Germany, France, USA, etc.) given as input.

Step 2: For each genre, systematically research and list Spotify playlist curators, music blogs, and indie labels based in or focused on the specified location that are currently open to submissions.

Step 3: For each entry, provide:

  - The name of the curator, blog, or label.

  - Their website or platform (Spotify/Blog/Label).

  - The genre(s) they focus on (confirming they match the input genres).

  - Explicit evidence that they are actively accepting submissions (e.g., open calls, submission forms, email invitations from their site or socials, recent updates).

  - Submission guidelines and requirements (copy them verbatim or summarize if lengthy).

  - The best contact email or submission link.

  - The source link to the relevant info for fact-checking.

Step 4: Group your results into clear sections for each genre, and within each genre, separate by curator, blog, and label.

Step 5: For each section, ensure you are not missing any major, credible, or high-impact sources—include both large and niche options.

Step 6: For transparency and outreach quality, only include entries for which you can find a verifiable submission process, recent activity, and direct contact details.

Step 7: At the end, add a short checklist the user can follow to maximize their submission success, based on the latest industry best practices.

User Inputs (to be filled in before running this prompt):

- Genre 1: [enter genre]

- Genre 2: [enter genre]

- Location: [enter country or region]

Take a deep breath and work on this problem step-by-step.
