How to Build a Professional Musician Website (and EPK) in 5 Minutes
You know what's harder than writing a setlist? Building a website for musicians that doesn't suck.
I’m Phil, and I run The Digital Fair as a one-person shop. I’m also a musician, so I built this the way I’d want it: fast, clean, and useful when you’re trying to book shows, share your music, and look professional online.
Most bands need three things: a place for fans to find your music, a way to sell merch, and a professional EPK (electronic press kit) for when venues and promoters ask for your materials. Instead, you get template libraries, plugin hunts, and the joy of manually uploading every single track from your discography.
So I built a faster, better way.
The Website Problem Nobody Talks About
Here’s what usually happens when you try to build a band website: you pick a website builder, scroll through templates, and start piecing things together, music player, press photos, a bio, a contact page, maybe a tour section.
None of that is bad. It just takes time. And when you’re juggling practice, recording, gigs, and everything else, “build a site from scratch” is the kind of task that keeps getting pushed to next weekend.
Then a promoter emails asking for your EPK, and you realize you need to pull it all into one clean place anyway.
That’s the gap I wanted to close.
What If Your Website Built Itself?
Your music already lives on Spotify. Your bio, your discography, your artist photos—it’s all there. What if your website could just pull that information automatically?
That’s exactly what I built at The Digital Fair's musician website builder. Paste your Spotify link. Wait five minutes. Get a professional website with a built-in electronic press kit.
And quick note: I do this for authors too. If you’ve got a book, you can use an ISBN to spin up an author website in under 5 minutes. Same idea: fast, clean, and ready to share.
The EPK Advantage
Let's talk about Electronic Press Kits for a second. Every serious musician needs one. Venues want to see your bio, photos, and music in one clean package. Festivals need tech riders. Blogs need high-res images.
Most bands either cobble together a PDF or pay someone to build a custom EPK page. Both options can work. One just takes time and upkeep.
My Instant musician tool builds your EPK automatically alongside your website. When your Spotify updates, your EPK updates. When you add a new album, it appears on both your site and your press kit. No double work.
Your EPK includes:
Professional bio, generated based on what we can find about you online
High-quality artist photos
Full discography with embedded players
Tech rider for venues
Interview Questions
Embedded media players with your music or videos
Downloadable press materials
All formatted for venues, promoters, and press, ready to share the moment your site goes live.
How It Works
The whole process takes three steps:
Step 1: Paste Your Spotify Link
Head to the musician website builder page. Drop in your Spotify artist URL. That’s it for step one.
Step 2: Wait About Five Minutes
The system pulls your artist information, discography, photos, and bio automatically. It builds your website structure, creates your EPK, and sets up your tech rider. You can grab coffee while this happens.
Step 3: Customize (If You Want)
Your site launches with everything in place. Want to tweak colors? Add a merch store? Change the layout? The CMS lets you adjust anything. But the core site works perfectly as-is.
Most bands publish immediately and customize later.
What You Get
Your musician website includes everything you need from day one:
Automatic Music Integration: Your Spotify discography syncs automatically. New releases appear on your site without manual uploads. Fans can stream your music directly on your page.
Professional EPK: A dedicated press kit page with your bio, photos, discography, and contact information: formatted for industry professionals.
Tech Rider: A venue-ready technical requirements page. Perfect for when you're booking shows and promoters need your stage setup details.
Mobile-Responsive Design: Your site looks clean on phones, tablets, and desktops. No separate mobile site needed.
Custom Domain: Use your band name as your URL. We handle the hosting and technical setup. You can bring your own domain or buy one at cost through The Digital Fair.
Built-In CMS: Update your bio, add tour dates, or post news without touching code. The content management system is straightforward.
Links to Sell Merch: We all know this is where the money is - and you gotta find a way to buy gas for that mini tour upstate, right?
Built-in QR Codes and Link Page for Social: Why pay extra to generate QR codes or for a little page that you can set up on your socials? These things come included with your site, even at the base price. I don't believe in charging extra for features that don't cost me extra to provide.
Your site isn’t just a digital business card. It’s your central hub—the place you send fans, venues, press, and anyone who asks, “where can I hear your music?”
And if you ever outgrow the Instant setup (or you already know you need something more bespoke), you can still work with me. I build custom-designed musician sites personally, with fully tailored layouts, unique visuals, and whatever integrations you need beyond the Spotify-based Instant tool.
No Hidden Costs, No Surprises
Here's the pricing: $10 per month. That includes everything.
Hosting? Included. The CMS? Included. Your EPK and tech rider? Included. Automatic Spotify sync? Included.
No setup fees. No premium tiers where the good features hide. No surprise charges when your traffic grows.
Compare that to hiring a web developer (hundreds to thousands of dollars) or piecing together a solution with a generic website builder, music plugins, and separate EPK software. You'll spend more money and infinitely more time.
Why Musicians Choose This Approach
The musicians using this tool aren’t trying to become part-time web designers. They want something that works immediately so they can get back to making music.
You don’t need to learn web design. You don’t need to research add-ons and integrations. You don’t need to manually recreate your Spotify profile on your website.
You need a professional online presence that makes you look legit when a venue Googles your name. You need it now, not after weeks of tinkering.
That’s the whole point of the Instant tool. I built it to remove the friction between “I need a website” and “I have a website.” And because I’m a one-person business, if you ever need help, you’re talking to me, not a support maze.
When to Use the Instant Builder
This approach works best if you:
Already have music on Spotify
Need a website quickly for an upcoming show or press opportunity
Want your EPK and website in one place
Prefer "done for you" over "do it yourself"
Don't want to spend weeks learning web design
It’s not the right fit if you need something highly custom or want to build every element from scratch. But for most working musicians, it’s exactly what they need.
And if you do need that highly custom route, I’ve got you. You can start with Instant to get online fast, then I can personally rebuild or expand it into a bespoke, custom-designed site when you’re ready.

Your Spotify link is all you need to get started.
