What if mastering your metadata could unlock new opportunities and streamline your music career? Join me, Jonny Amos, as I guide you through the often overlooked, yet crucial, realm of metadata in the music industry. In this episode, we break down the different types of metadata and explain why getting it right is vital for categorising music, collecting royalties, and ensuring accurate identification across platforms. With insights from Emily Jackson of Horus Music, you'll learn about common pitfalls and the importance of accuracy and timely submission. Avoid release delays and maximise your chances with digital service providers like Spotify and Apple Music by understanding essential metadata practices.
But that’s not all! We also delve into the complexities of genre definition in music creation. Find out how defining your genre early can help position your music within niche communities and boost your visibility on streaming platforms. From neo-soul to sludge metal, we'll show you how sonics, styles, and themes contribute to genre classification, enhancing your marketing strategies. Plus, I introduce a free metadata template available on my website www.jonnyamos.com to help you manage your metadata effectively. This practical tool will ensure you're ready for professional collaborations, making your journey in the music industry smoother and more successful. Tune in and elevate your understanding of both metadata and genre definition to better connect your music to its audience.
