Work With DeadNote

DeadNote was built on a simple idea: music writing should tell people why a record matters, not just announce that it exists. I bring that same approach to artist bios, EPKs, and release materials—clear, human writing that gives journalists, promoters, and listeners something real to work with.

Services

Artist Bios and Rewrites

Your bio should give writers, promoters, and listeners a reason to care—not bury them in dates and adjectives. I can write a new artist bio or reshape an existing one into a focused, natural story that sounds like your band.

Starting at $150 CAD

EPK and One-Sheet Copy

An EPK needs to make sense quickly. I can turn your release details, key credits, achievements, and story into clear, organized copy that gives journalists, promoters, and industry contacts what they need without making them dig for it.

Starting at $225 CAD

Press Releases and Release Copy

New music deserves more than a list of credits and a few oversized claims. I can write focused press releases and release descriptions that explain what the music is, where it came from, and why someone should pay attention.

Why Work With DeadNote?

I’m Rob Joncas, founder of DeadNoteMedia and a contributor to ThisDayInMetal. I’ve written more than 100 long-form music pieces and interviewed artists across rock and metal. I understand what music writers and readers need—and how quickly generic promotional copy gets ignored.

Every project is handled personally. There are no stock templates, inflated claims, or attempts to make your band sound like someone else. The goal is straightforward: find the clearest version of your story and give it language people can actually use.

How It Works

1. Send me the basic details of your project and your preferred deadline.
2. I’ll confirm the scope, exact price, and turnaround time before anything begins.
3. Work starts once I receive your source material and a 50% deposit.
4. You’ll receive a complete draft, one revision, and the final copy after the remaining balance is paid.
