At Belgium DJ School, we help you put together your PRESSKIT from A to Z. We’re talking the whole shebang—minus the glitter font, unless that’s your thing. Why a PRESSKIT? If an organizer is interested in booking you, you don’t want them going on a wild internet goose chase just to find your details. You’d much rather they find everything in one place, right? You also want events to get it right when they promote you, whether it’s in a newspaper article or an Instagram post. The goal? Put all the important stuff into one handy PDF so any organizer or booker can quickly get the scoop: who you are, how you sound, what your experience is—without having to guess if they’ve got the right DJ! A PRESSKIT is the perfect way to introduce yourself, nice and snappy. Send it over as a PDF that includes a bio, a recent playlist, and some live show snippets. Especially when you’re starting out, it’s smart to show where you’re at. For instance: just recorded an EP? Your single is hitting the airwaves? Played alongside big names like X & Y? Lay it out! This way, bookers, labels, and managers get the whole picture without needing to hire a detective. What’s in a professional PRESSKIT? Think carefully about what you include. Some things are essential, others not so much (maybe skip the high score on your favorite video game). Keep it simple: a short bio with your best highlights (written in the third person) and a few photos showing your journey. And of course, add links to your channels so they can dive right into your music or live footage. What can you expect from this PRESSKIT? A ready-to-use template with no watermark—hooray! No designer included (we’ll let you handle that, you’re the artist here). OR you can choose to add some sparkle with expert advice (just be sure to choose this before completing the order by clicking ‘VERSION’). Sent your PRESSKIT but now need a professional RIDER too? What’s that all about? Congrats! If your PRESSKIT made a splash, organizers might ask for your RIDER. This is a document that tells them what equipment you need (Technical Rider) and what drinks and snacks you’d like during your set (Hospitality Rider). Think of it as your star moment—a list of requests where your inner rockstar can shine. But don’t go overboard: the champagne fountain and jet can wait until you’re headlining. Don’t have a Rider yet? No stress! We’ve got handy templates ready to be tailored to your style.
