As an artist, Discover Weekly has been the best thing to ever happen to me. Every Monday I get a big infusion of listeners (around 5,000)— many of who stick around and check out my other music :)
Prior to that, the best press I could get was the tedious process of cold-emailing bloggers (a practice which is now dying off).
- landtuna 9y agoHaha - read your comment, looked at your username, opened Spotify, and "Purification Ritual" is the first song in my Discover Weekly.
- jcb1973 9y agoAnd now thanks to discussion of Discover Weekly, I've discovered Steve Benjamins... Thanks!
- jcb1973 9y agoAnd "Hi Steve!" - listening to "Purification Ritual" now...
