We had a quick chat with stupidDope founder Shane Breen, who gets straight to the point about what this opportunity means for selected artists.

Consistency and authenticity.
Why is your gig listing a good opportunity for Sonicbids artists?

What can an artist do to make his or her EPK stand out in an inbox full of submissions?
Make great records, make sure it’s mixed properly, and put thought into everything from your cover art to the final mix.

Sonicbids has been great for stupidDOPE. It has given us a streamlined way to receive music from emerging artists that are hungry and looking for exposure.

Be real.
