"A press kit, often referred to as a media kit in business environments, is a pre-packaged set of promotional materials of a person, company, or organization distributed to members of the media for promotional use. They are often distributed to announce a release or for a news conference."

that example compose gave is really vague. in more relatable terms, a press kit is an 8x10 of your mug, some music, and maybe some stats and figures that might convince someone in the business called music to give a shit about you.

oh yeah, and obviously your contact information.

^^basically what apexx said but also they may ask for more shit..

Like Koch Records for example ask for

- Pictures
- One Interview Session
- Soundscan (if you have it)
- Songs obviously
- A Biography and a personal Letter

They all ask for different things, if they ask for a press kit theyd say what they need on the website..nah mean..this is if you're trying to get a deal

"**If you're scratching your head wondering what's a press kit and what it should consist of then you have alot of research in front of you. We look at the press kits that are professional looking not hand written letters and a copied cd with marker writings all over it."

That's all it says about the press kit, word.

Is that from Koch?...

Or from the label you're interested with?..

Well they're looking for not a copied CD but a CD that's been processed (your' cover on it etc.) and a letter set out proffesionally and written on the computer..

and then anything else yo think you could send they might need..
