Get Your Music Heard

As a Christian artist, getting your music heard in a crowded industry can feel overwhelming. While talent is essential, public relations (PR) and strategic marketing play a significant role in making your music stand out. If you want to expand your reach, connect with your audience, and see real growth in your music career, a solid PR strategy is key.

Here are five essential Christian music PR strategies to help you break through the noise and get your music heard:

1. Leverage Christian Music Blogs and Press Coverage

Christian music blogs and websites are powerful platforms that can introduce your music to new audiences. Websites like Gospel Hydration, New Release Today, Rapzilla, and JesusWired actively feature independent Christian artists.

How to Get Featured:

• Craft a professional press release with details about your music, its message, and why it stands out. Also include a little section about you. Try not to make your press release to long.
• Reach out to Christian music bloggers via email or social media, offering an exclusive premiere or interview.
• Engage with these platforms by commenting on their posts and sharing their content to build relationships before pitching your music.

By securing features on multiple blogs, you build credibility and increase your chances of getting noticed by Spotify editors, YouTube curators, and potential fans.

2. Utilize Christian Music Playlists on Spotify & Apple Music

Streaming platforms are one of the best ways to reach listeners. Christian music playlists, especially independent ones, can boost your streams and exposure. Check out some of our here.

How to Get Playlisted:

• Submit your music to Spotify’s editorial playlists through Spotify for Artists.
• Pitch to independent playlist curators via platforms like Groover or SubmitHub.
• Share your music in Facebook groups and forums dedicated to Christian playlists.
• Create your own playlists featuring your music alongside other artists to encourage algorithmic growth.

Getting placed on a playlist with thousands of followers can significantly increase your streams and discoverability.

3. Engage in Social Media & Content Marketing

Your audience is online—so should your marketing be! Social media is one of the most effective PR tools for Christian artists.

Best Practices:

• Use Instagram Reels & TikTok to create engaging content with your music. One artist we feel who does this very well is Jaymanwell. Check out his post below.

• Share behind-the-scenes content of your songwriting, recording, and faith journey.
• Go live on YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook to interact with your audience in real-time.
• Encourage user-generated content, asking fans to create videos using your song.

Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts have the potential to take your song viral if leveraged properly.

4. Build Relationships with Christian Radio & Podcasts

While streaming is essential, Christian radio and podcasts still play a massive role in music discovery.

How to Get Radio & Podcast Placements:

• Research Christian radio stations that support independent artists (Air1, WayFM, Premier Gospel, Affinityxtra).
• Submit your music to Christian radio promoters or directly to DJs.
• Reach out to Christian podcasts that feature musicians for interviews and performances.

By tapping into Christian radio and podcasts, you connect with audiences who may not discover your music through streaming alone.

5. Network & Collaborate with Other Christian Artists

Networking is a game-changer in the Christian music industry. Partnering with other artists opens doors to new audiences, industry connections, and collaborative projects. This is probably the most important step to effective Christian Music PR.

Ways to Collaborate:

• Feature on each other’s songs to cross-promote music.
• Join Christian music communities on social media.
• Perform together at Christian music events, church concerts, or live sessions.

The stronger your network, the more exposure and opportunities you’ll have as an artist.
