Writing (words, not music or lyrics) might be the last thing on your mind as a musician. The truth is that knowing how to write a good email is a crucial skill for musicians. Emails are how you’ll likely pitch your music to blogs, book gigs, and reach out to labels. Relationships are super important and your first impression (email, often) can be the most important one you make. Of course, it takes incredible music to succeed as an independent musician.
