Do you have a new music release or tour coming up? Want to keep fans engaged and interactive between releases or gigs? Looking for help to connect your music to fans and industry, and also attract new eyes and ears?

.How to produce engaging content with gear you may already have
.Affordable gear and editing apps
.The value of a music video – why artists need dynamic visual content
.Basic tips on lighting, backgrounds, sound
