One sheet vs EPK: which one do they want?
Same content, different containers. Your EPK is the full kit — a web page with playable music, videos and galleries, made for a phone screen. The one sheet is that kit compressed onto a single printable page, made for email attachments and label desks where PDFs still rule. When someone says "send a press one sheet," "artist one sheet" or "band one sheet," they all mean the same document. Send the link and attach the one sheet; let the reader pick.
What goes on a musician one sheet
- Name, genre, cityThe header. A stranger should place you in three seconds.
- 2–3 sentence bioShorter than your EPK bio. Trajectory and what the live show delivers — nothing else fits.
- One photoOne. The strongest press shot you have, not a collage.
- NumbersMonthly listeners, socials, draw. Honest and current.
- Two links, maxBest track + best live video, written short (or as QR codes for print). Every extra link dilutes both.
- One quote, three showsProof section, strictly rationed — this is where one sheets usually bloat onto page two.
- Booking contactBottom of the page, high contrast, one email.
