How To Be Successful On Bandcamp As An Artist - Interview With Aly Gillani (Label Representative & Manager)

In a nutshell, Bandcamp is a digital community that facilitates the process of fans directly supporting artists in the first place, and also  (nowadays) serves as a gathering spot of like-minded people who want to discover new music and build relationships with the artist. In our new episode, we have the honor to speak with Aly Gillani (Label Representative & Manager at Bandcamp) about the different features like Live Streams, Bandcamp Fridays, Messaging, and Building an Audience. We also cover some best practices when it comes to getting the best out of the platform and achieving success as an artist or label on the platform. Podcast notes / more info and links on our website. A quote from Aly from the end of the interview which I really love and can relate to when it comes to what we do with Sterefoox. Our aim was just to create an online record store. An online record store has personality, it has idiosyncrasies, and I think we all understand now that yes, there is AI and algorithms and they can predict your every move, but sometimes people do things that are unexpected and weird and sometimes who only ever bought hip hop suddenly buys a folk record and that’s great. We try to encourage that kind of discovery where you find things you wouldn’t otherwise find but you really love.
