Today on For Artists Figuring It Out, Tom’s breaking down the number one reason most independent artists aren’t getting booked, and no, it’s not because you’re not “big enough yet.”


Here’s what we’re covering:


→ Why waiting to be discovered is killing your momentum

→ How most artists think they’re pitching — but actually aren’t

→ What promoters are really looking for (and how to give it to them)

→ The simplest way to start landing more gigs this week
