Open SpotlightLays out an electronic press kit (EPK) from the sections promoters and press look for: who you are, a short and a long bio, your latest release, highlights, press quotes, live dates and line-up, links and contact, with an optional press photo. Empty sections are left out of the PDF.

An electronic press kit is a musician's CV: a short document (or web page) with the bio, the music, photos, press, live history and contacts that a promoter, journalist, label or playlist curator needs to say yes.
One page is enough for most requests; send the link to your music, not big audio attachments.
