What is One Sheet?

A one-sheet also called a one-page overview, is single written press documentation that represents a band’s or artist’s music and their brand. It’s commonly used by media, radio stations, record stores, booking agents, distributors, and other industry professionals to determine how a band or artist is marketable to their audience. A one-sheet is used to promote an emerging artist, their album or EP release, or their upcoming gigs and tours.

Details to Include in a One Sheet

1. Artist Name and Logo

Place your logo at the top of your one sheet. If you don’t have a logo, include your artist’s or band’s name in large and bold text.

2. Press Photos

The next thing to include is a creative, eye-catching, high-quality press photo that shows off your or your band’s personality. You can either put a photo of the photo shoot you’ve done or photos from your gigs to show your amazing stage presence.

Since one sheet does not provide you with a lot of space to talk about yourself or your band, make a summary that introduces who you are, the genre of your music, your musical influences, and a brief account of your band’s or your origin.

4. Major Achievements

You can boast all of your or your band’s impressive achievements. Include details such as sold-out shows, opening for a mainstream artist, winning an award, selling a lot of copies of your EP or album, becoming one of the most-streamed artists/band, any milestone your band or you has achieved.

5. Press Quotes

Include quotes from magazines news outlets or blogs that have featured you before. This is important because it means that you or your brand has been recognized before by the press and been exposed to the masses.

6. Social Media Handles and Numbers

Provide all information about your social media handles and platforms. If you have some space, include your statistics on these platforms such as the number of followers you have, views on your posts, etc.

7. Album or Touring Information

Include information about an exciting event that you or your band will do such as release a new album or go on tour. When promoting your album, including album artwork, release date, recording information, and specific tracks to check out that will become singles in the future. If you’re promoting a tour, including the touring dates, major festivals that you’ll be playing, your tourmates, ticket information, etc.
