Made for indie labels and DIY artists

Reach Indie Blogs and Zines

Send promos to music bloggers, online magazines, and independent press. They get a private link to stream your tracks and you see who actually listens.

Pitch to Playlist Curators

Send your release to Spotify and Apple Music curators before street date. Let them preview your tracks and add them to playlists ahead of launch.

Track Press Response

See which journalists opened your promo, how many tracks they listened to, and whether they came back for a second listen. Focus follow-ups on the interested ones.

Professional Presentation

Your promo arrives as a branded player page with artwork, bio, and streaming links. It looks like you have a PR team behind you, even if it's just you.

Indie music promotion FAQ

How do I promote my indie music to blogs?

Add blogger contacts to Promoly, upload your release with a press bio and artwork, and send. Bloggers get a private streaming link and you track whether they listened.

Can I use Promoly as a solo artist without a label?

Yes. Plenty of independent artists use Promoly to run their own promo campaigns. Plans start at £10/month. The free trial gives you 150 sends to test it.

Does Promoly work for EP and album releases?

Yes. Upload multiple tracks in a single campaign. Recipients can stream the full release in order, track by track.

Can I include my press kit?

Add your bio, press photos link, and any background info in the release notes. Recipients see everything alongside the player, no separate attachments needed.

How is this better than emailing MP3s?

Email attachments get caught in spam, can't be tracked, and look unprofessional. Promoly gives you a branded player, real-time analytics, and feedback collection in one package.
