The Spotlight!

You spend all your time writing, singing, and recording your music but to not have the best package in place can be your biggest disadvantage. Let's face it, you usually have only one shot to impress the deal makers and your promo kit shouldn't be your deal breaker. You need to sell yourself.

The competition is fierce. What makes you more unique than other artists? You have songs, they have songs. You have a bio, they have a bio. So what makes you a star above the rest?

It has become the industry standard for a band or artist to submit their photo or head shot as part of their package. These really don't tell the A&R person anything. They are looking for great songs and great performances while making sure their investment is going to have the best chance of promoting a winner.

If you are serious about separating yourself from the competition then you have to consider having live performance shots as part of your promotion portfolio. Separate yourself from your competition!

Sniper photographer KJ Banuk can help capture that star quality in your performance. Whether for your A&R package, media portfolio, CD insert or website, your performance stills will give you that extra star quality edge. There is a reason she has shot the world's entertainment royalty: Janet Jackson, Aerosmith, Alanis Morisette just to name a few. Aren't you worth it?
