How do I become a FEATURE ARTIST on MusicSA?

MusicSA hosts a prominent Feature section for SA artists on the homepage. This Feature spot includes a large photo, full article, links to individual listing, mp3 sample and exclusive contest giveaways. These features last between 2 - 3 weeks. Feature Artists also appear on MusicSA's myspace page (www.myspace.com/musicsacomau ), as a top friend. 

To be considered for the Feature Artist spot, you must have a significant upcoming event or news (e.g. CD Launch, major Festival spot, label signing, etc), and you must notify MusicSA well in advance.  Feature Artist spots fill up quickly, so the sooner MusicSA knows about your interest, the more likely you will secure the spot. You can only be a Feature Artist once on MusicSA, so make sure you only ask for a date when it will help you out the most.  Only artists listed on MusicSA will be considered for the Feature spot.

If you are selected to be the Feature Artist, MusicSA will require the following:

  • PRESS RELEASE (5 or so paragraphs with CURRENT news & achievements) and a general BIOGRAPHY
  • 3 photos that DO NOT already appear on your Artist Listing
  • mp3 DOWNLOADABLE file (snippet is ok)
  • contribution of the contest prize (minimum 3 CDs, and/or ticket giveaways).  Note: one CD will be considered for a Review on MusicSA.
  • Scan/photo of your CD cover
  • You must join MusicSA's Friends on Myspace, and keep MusicSA in your Top Friends for the duration of the Feature Spot.
**Please do not send the above material unless MusicSA has CONFIRMED your Feature Artist spot.
