Every artist needs a press kit and a bio. They’re the first things curators, journalists, and promoters check when deciding whether to feature your music. But let’s be honest: most bios sound either like a boring résumé or a badly written diary.
Here’s where AI tools come in. With the right approach, AI can help you craft bios and press kits that are professional, engaging, and tailored to your audience — without sounding robotic.
1. Why your press kit and bio matter
- Press kit = your professional résumé. It includes your bio, photos, music links, achievements, and contact info.
- Artist bio = your story. It’s the human connection that helps people remember you.
In a saturated music market, your words matter as much as your beats.
2. Using AI to draft your artist bio
AI writing tools like ChatGPT (https://chat.openai.com) or Copy.ai (https://www.copy.ai) can turn bullet points into polished bios.
👉 Example workflow:
- Write down your key facts: genre, influences, achievements, city, vibe.
- Paste them into an AI tool with a prompt like: “Write a professional artist bio in 3 paragraphs, blending credibility and personality, for a house music producer influenced by Chicago and Afro-house.”
- Refine the output to match your tone.
⚡ Pro tip: Ask the AI to create 3 versions — short (50 words), medium (150 words), long (300+ words) — so you’re ready for blogs, Spotify, and press releases.
3. Making your bio engaging with AI
AI can help with more than just structure — it can spice up your bio with storytelling elements.
- Use Jasper AI → https://www.jasper.ai to add creative flair and find catchy angles.
- Try Grammarly → https://www.grammarly.com for polishing tone, grammar, and readability.
- Use Hemingway Editor → https://hemingwayapp.com to simplify sentences and make them more impactful.
Remember: the best bios show personality. Don’t just say “DJ from Paris” — say “DJ from Paris crafting hypnotic grooves that turn midnight into sunrise.”
4. Building your press kit with AI
A press kit (also known as an EPK) includes:
- Artist bio (short and long)
- High-quality photos (AI tools like Remini → https://www.remini.ai can enhance your shots)
- Logos and visuals (try Canva AI → https://www.canva.com or Looka → https://looka.com)
- Music links (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud)
- Press quotes (if available, or AI-generated placeholders you refine)
- Contact info
AI can speed up layout design too. Tools like Canva or Visme (https://www.visme.co) have ready-to-use press kit templates. Just drop in your AI-polished bio and visuals.
5. AI for social proof & consistency
Consistency is everything. With AI, you can:
- Generate a tone of voice guide for your brand.
- Repurpose your bio into social media captions with Copy.ai.
- Create press release drafts when announcing a new track with ChatGPT.
This way, your story feels unified across Spotify, Instagram, and press coverage.
6. Don’t forget the human touch ✨
AI can’t (yet) capture your late-night studio struggles or the emotion behind your lyrics. That’s your job. Use AI as a first draft engine, then add the personal touch:
- Anecdotes from your journey.
- Emotional connections to your music.
- A sense of humor, if it fits your style.
👉 Rule of thumb: AI creates the skeleton, you add the soul.
✅ Final Thought
With the right tools, AI can turn the stressful task of writing bios and press kits into a streamlined, even fun process. Instead of staring at a blank page, you start with polished drafts you can tweak to perfection.
Bottom line: AI won’t replace your story — it just helps you tell it better.
