Music promotion channels are YouTube channels that regularly upload curated new music. With a large network of subscribers, these channels are effective for artists to promote new music. Promo channels accept music submissions from independent bands and musicians. They usually pick music that would do well with their audience. Promo channels make money via monetisation, while musicians earn popularity and recognition. A model that benefits both the involved parties.
Why should you promote music via promo channels?
According to Budi Voogt, a music entrepreneur, some of the top music promo channels have the potential to create a ripple effect in the genre of music they are pushing. Promo channels offer a viable music distribution platform for budding musicians. Some of the bigger promo channels also have deals with major labels to get exclusives for tracks. Additionally, promo channels are trend-setters, offering new bands and artists, a shot to popularity.
How to submit music to promo channels?
- Visit the promo channel’s About page to avail contact details.
- Write a clear email subject-line. Follow the format: Artist name – Track name (version)
- Submit a press release. Include a brief artist bio, track details, contact details, social media links, download and purchase links.
- Include a streaming link in your email. Promoters may not have the time to download your music.
- Send material for which you own all the rights.
- Offer exclusives and previews to promoters. Promoters prefer music that only they are entitled to upload. Previews are when a promoter is allowed to upload your track before other blogs and channels.
Top YouTube music promo channels
YouTube is home to a large number of music promo channels. Choose one that best suits your music genre and style. Before pitching to any music promo channel, listen to the songs they upload.

Are u promoting INDIAN RAP??
One of the simplest ways to have access to good international music in India is to tune into international music channels such as VH1. There is a wide range of viewers who love watching the channel for various reasons in the country. A huge reason why a lot of people choose to watch the channel is because of the fact that it offers the latest musical track from around the globe. You do not have to go around looking for new songs that are popular around the world when you have access to the television channel.
