“BigBadBird added strategies and marketing angles to my release thinking that I genuinely wouldn’t have come up with on my own. New angles, fresh approach, useful. And you realise immediately this was made by an artist-friendly human. No strings attached.”
Klintmoor
“As an artist, what I really want to do is create. Not write press releases, plan release timelines, or work out splits. These things are necessary, of course, but they can feel overwhelming at times. The tools handle all of that in minutes and the output sounds like me, not a template. This is a giant weight off my shoulders.”
