Build a practical prompt pack for my music project. I want help with release planning, audience communication, collaboration, and live preparation while keeping my artistic voice and factual credits intact. Artist or project details: [ARTIST DETAILS] Music, influences, and current release: [MUSIC AND RELEASE] Audience, goals, and channels: [AUDIENCE AND GOALS] Available assets and verified facts: [ASSETS AND FACTS] Current priorities: [CURRENT PRIORITIES] Create 10 copy-paste prompts grouped under: define the release, promote it, prepare performances, and run the project. Include prompts for an artist bio, release narrative, press-pitch email draft, social content plan, show pitch or venue outreach draft, rehearsal plan, setlist flow review, collaborator brief, release checklist, and post-release review. For each, provide a task name, when to use it, the full prompt with 2-5 bracketed placeholders, the exact output requested, and a one-line note on inputs needed. The prompts must protect factual accuracy. Require the model to distinguish verified credits, dates, lyrics, samples, collaborators, rights owners, ticket figures, press coverage, and fan statistics from ideas or assumptions. For lyrics, ask for original writing based on stated themes and do not request imitation of a living artist's style. For rights, contracts, splits, sampling, or licensing questions, have the model prepare questions and an information checklist for a qualified music lawyer, manager, distributor, or rights administrator rather than provide definitive legal advice. Before answering, check that each prompt fits a real stage of releasing or performing music and that none asks AI to fabricate acclaim, quotes, streaming numbers, or credits. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.
Fill in
| Placeholder | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [ARTIST DETAILS] | Provide your artist name, genre, location if relevant, band members, and project stage. | Lena Morris, independent indie-folk singer-songwriter in Columbus, Ohio; performs solo and occasionally with a cellist; releasing a second EP. |
| [MUSIC AND RELEASE] | Describe the sound, themes, release title, format, date, and any verified track information. | EP title: Still Water; five songs about moving home and caregiving; acoustic guitar, cello, and close vocal harmonies; release date November 14. |
| [AUDIENCE AND GOALS] | State who you want to reach, your current fan channels, and the result you want from the release. | Listeners of intimate indie-folk, local venue regulars, and college radio DJs; grow email list and book three regional winter shows. |
| [ASSETS AND FACTS] | List approved photos, artwork, links, credits, quotes, past shows, and data you can verify. | Three approved press photos, cover art, private listening link, lyrics sheet, credits, 1,240 Instagram followers, and two past venue posters. |
| [CURRENT PRIORITIES] | List the music-business or creative tasks you need to handle next. | Write a current bio, plan six weeks of posts, organize rehearsals, pitch venues, and confirm release credits. |
How to use
- Describe the release and audience before asking for promotion; the same song needs different language for fans, venues, and press.
- Paste approved credits and dates exactly as they should appear so the prompts preserve them.
- Use AI-generated language as a draft, then replace any phrasing that does not sound like you when spoken or sung.
- Follow up with: "Adapt the release narrative into a 90-word college-radio pitch using only the verified facts above."
Variations
Release rollout
Use this for a single, EP, or album campaign.
Create a six-week release rollout for [ARTIST] and [RELEASE]. My confirmed date, assets, channels, and capacity are [RELEASE FACTS]. My goals are [GOALS]. Return a weekly calendar with content purpose, asset needed, draft caption angle, email or outreach action, and success signal. Include pre-save, release-day, and follow-up activity only where relevant. Do not invent press, playlist support, streaming figures, or collaborator participation. Separate confirmed dates from suggested dates and flag missing assets. Ask up to 3 questions only if required.
Artist bio
Use this to draft a concise, fact-based artist biography.
Write three original artist bios for [ARTIST] using only these verified facts: [BIO FACTS]. The music and current project are [MUSIC CONTEXT]. Produce 50-word, 100-word, and 175-word versions for [AUDIENCE OR USE]. Prioritize sound, subject matter, and a few meaningful credits or live details over a full chronology. Do not claim comparisons, acclaim, press coverage, or statistics I did not supply. Flag any fact that needs approval and avoid imitating another artist's voice. Ask up to 3 necessary questions.
Setlist review
Use this before a live show or audition.
Review this proposed setlist for a [SHOW TYPE] by [ARTIST]: [SETLIST]. Song tempo, key, instrumentation, duration, and required changes are [SONG DETAILS]. The audience and venue constraints are [SHOW CONTEXT]. Return a recommended running order, total duration, transition notes, gear or tuning changes, a backup cut list, and rehearsal priorities. Explain each move through energy, familiarity, setup time, and vocal or physical load. Do not assume songs, arrangements, or covers I have not listed. Check that the set fits the allotted time including transitions.
Tips
- Keep one approved fact sheet for each release with titles, credits, dates, links, lyrics status, and artwork; use it whenever you ask AI to create outward-facing copy.
- A show pitch should offer a clear bill fit, local draw only when verified, and usable links; it should not claim a crowd size based on follower counts.
- Build setlists around transitions and physical load, not just song quality. A strong sequence accounts for tuning, instrument swaps, tempo, and what the audience has already heard.
- Treat split sheets, samples, and licensing as rights-administration work. AI can organize questions and records, but it cannot confirm your legal position.
FAQ
Can AI write lyrics for my song?
It can help generate original drafts from themes, images, structure, and emotional intent you provide. Avoid asking it to copy a living songwriter's recognizable style, and revise for your own voice.
Can AI help with a music press release?
Yes, especially with structure and alternate angles. Supply confirmed release details and remove unsupported claims of acclaim or anticipated success.
Can AI tell me who owns a sample or publishing right?
It can help you list the information to investigate, but ownership and clearance need verification through the relevant rights holders and, when needed, a music professional.
