Amazing Radio pitch templates for PR professionals

Amazing Radio receives thousands of submissions annually across both UK and US operations. Successful pitches combine strategic positioning, genre clarity, and authentic storytelling that resonates with curators prioritising emerging talent. These templates are calibrated for Amazing Radio's portal system and direct PR outreach — adjusting tone and depth depending on whether you're submitting through their platform or approaching programme teams directly.

8 templates

Portal Submission — Concise Artist Bio

When submitting directly through Amazing Radio's artist portal, your bio appears alongside streaming links and track metadata. This template maximises curator attention within limited space.

[Artist Name] is a [genre] artist from [location] exploring [core musical theme or aesthetic]. Their sound blends [influence 1] with [influence 2], creating [specific sonic quality]. With [X releases/notable achievements], [artist] has built a following among listeners seeking [audience descriptor]. The track '[Track Title]' showcases [what makes this song distinct], reflecting their evolving approach to [theme]. Available on [streaming platforms].

Keep under 150 words. Lead with the most distinctive element of your sound, not your backstory. Use genre tags Amazing Radio recognises (indie, alternative, folk, electronic, hip-hop, etc.) — avoid vague terms like 'indie-pop' unless that specificity serves. Mention playlist placements or radio play only if from credible sources; curators skip unverified claims.

Direct PR Pitch — Programme Manager Email

When contacting Amazing Radio programme teams or pluggers directly (not via portal), this approach combines relevance signalling with narrative that justifies playlist consideration.

Hi [Curator/Playlist Editor Name],

I'm pitching [Artist Name]'s '[Track Title]' for [specific Amazing Radio show or playlist]. The track lands in [genre] space, and I think it fits [specific show/curator] because [concrete reason tied to their programming history].

[Artist] is [concise artist positioning]. '[Track Title]' was released [date] and has seen [specific metric: playlist adds, streaming growth, radio play]. The song explores [thematic or sonic hook that connects to Amazing Radio's ethos].

I've attached a one-sheet. Let me know if you'd like me to send a high-res artwork or alternative mixes. Happy to discuss timing or exclusivity.

Best,
[Your Name]

Personalise the curator's name — check Amazing Radio's team page or recent press releases. Reference a specific show they've championed or a past playlist feature that mirrors your artist's sound. One-sheet should include artist bio, track info, streaming links, and key stats. Keep the main email to 5-7 lines; let documentation do the heavy lifting.

Follow-Up Email — Post-Submission Persistence

If your portal submission or initial pitch receives no response within 2-3 weeks, a light-touch follow-up maintains momentum without appearing desperate.

Hi [Curator Name],

Quick follow-up on '[Track Title]' by [Artist Name], which I submitted [X weeks ago/date]. No pressure if it hasn't landed yet — I realise you're processing hundreds of tracks monthly.

Thought you might appreciate knowing [Artist Name] has recently [new playlist placement, radio support, or upcoming live date]. If the timing wasn't right before, it might be now.

If this still doesn't fit, I'd genuinely value any feedback on what would work better for Amazing Radio's current rotation.

All the best,
[Your Name]

Timing matters: follow up after 14-21 days, not sooner. Include one new development (playlist add, festival announcement, chart movement) to justify resurfacing the pitch. Frame the follow-up as helpful information, not a demand for response. If rejected, ask for feedback; curators occasionally provide actionable insight into why a track didn't fit.

Multi-Territory Pitch — Simultaneous UK & US Positioning

When pitching the same artist to Amazing Radio UK and Amazing Radio US operations, emphasise territorial relevance while acknowledging the shared ethos between stations.

Hi [Amazing Radio UK/US Curator],

Pitching [Artist Name] — [genre artist from/based in] — who I believe fits [specific Amazing Radio strand/show].

[Artist] released '[Track Title]' on [date]. It's gained traction in [relevant territories], with support from [credible playlist/media]. The song itself explores [thematic or sonic direction] — something I know [Amazing Radio UK/US specifically] champions.

I'm simultaneously pitching to both UK and US operations because [Artist Name]'s appeal transcends territory; however, I'm highlighting [specific reason this track resonates in this market: cultural reference, collaboration with local artist, thematic alignment with current Amazing Radio programming].

Let me know if either version of Amazing Radio is the right fit.

Best,
[Your Name]

Avoid submitting identical pitches to both operations on the same day — stagger by 3-5 days. Highlight what makes the artist relevant to each territory specifically (not just 'this artist is good'). If the artist has US or UK roots, collaborate history, or specific cultural angle, emphasise that. Don't assume both operations share the same playlist priorities.

Campaign Momentum Email — Converting Radio Play into Press Angles

After securing Amazing Radio play, pitch journalists and bloggers by anchoring the story in your Amazing Radio support. This template positions Amazing Radio play as a credible achievement.

[Artist Name]'s '[Track Title]' is now in rotation at Amazing Radio [UK/US], and I thought your readers would appreciate the context.

[Artist] is [concise positioning]. The track explores [thematic hook], and it's resonated with Amazing Radio curators because [specific reason — sonic innovation, storytelling, genre-blending, etc.].

I'm sharing this because your [blog/publication] has historically championed artists in [relevant genre/aesthetic], and [Artist Name] occupies similar terrain. Alongside Amazing Radio support, [mention any other recent developments: live dates, playlist adds from independent curators, press coverage].

Happy to arrange an interview, share high-res artwork, or discuss an exclusive. Amazing Radio's backing gives us momentum to build on.

Best,
[Your Name]

Only send this email after Amazing Radio play is confirmed and live. Amazing Radio support carries weight with independent music media — leverage it. Include links to the track on Amazing Radio or mention the specific show it's featured in. This positions the artist as vetted by a respected emerging artist platform, which journalists value.

Portal Submission — Album/EP Context

When submitting a single from a larger body of work (album or EP), use portal space to signal the broader artistic vision while keeping focus on the specific track.

[Artist Name]'s '[Track Title]' is the [position] track from [album/EP title], released [date]. The project explores [overarching theme or sound evolution], with '[Track Title]' serving as [its role in the narrative/sonic arc].

The album features [X tracks], each investigating [themes], whilst maintaining [distinctive sonic element]. [Artist Name] worked with [collaborators/producers if notable], and the production reflects influences including [genre references]. Prior to this release, [artist] built a following through [relevant milestone], and '[Track Title]' represents [specific artistic development or breakthrough moment].

The track appeals to listeners of [comparable artists/playlist genres] and sits naturally within Amazing Radio's focus on emerging voices pushing [relevant aesthetic boundary].

If submitting a single from a multi-track project, briefly contextualise the larger work without overshadowing the single itself. Curators need to understand why this specific track matters now. Avoid listing all collaborators unless they're genuinely relevant to Amazing Radio's audience. Focus on artistic progression or thematic coherence rather than production credits.

Resubmission Email — Strategic Second Attempt

If a track didn't gain traction on first submission, resubmitting after a meaningful campaign development (fresh radio play, festival booking, new single) can justify renewed curator consideration.

Hi [Curator Name],

[Artist Name]'s '[Track Title]' didn't gain traction the first time around — completely fair. But the artist's campaign has evolved significantly since [original submission date].

Since then, [Artist Name] has [specific achievement: radio support from [station], festival booking for [event], collaboration with [artist], or new single release]. The original track still resonates with Amazing Radio's programming, but now it's anchored in genuine momentum rather than just a submission.

I'd love to resubmit '[Track Title]' if timing is better now. No pressure if the track still doesn't fit your rotation, but thought the context change was worth flagging.

Best,
[Your Name]

Only resubmit if you have a legitimate development to reference (not made-up metrics). Space resubmissions at least 4-6 weeks apart. Acknowledge the first rejection gracefully — curators respect professionals who understand curation isn't personal. Resubmission works best when timed around a new campaign milestone, not just 'we tried again.'

Portal Submission — Genre-Specific Positioning

For genre-blending or experimental tracks, clearly establish where the track sits within Amazing Radio's programming landscape to help curators categorise and place it.

[Artist Name]'s '[Track Title]' occupies the space between [primary genre] and [secondary influence], bringing [specific sonic or thematic quality] to a [genre community] audience. The track leans into [distinctive production choice or lyrical approach], distinguishing itself from conventional [genre] releases.

[Artist] draws influence from [reference points], though '[Track Title]' pursues [original direction]. Released [date], the track has resonated with listeners gravitating towards [listener descriptor], whilst maintaining accessibility for [broader audience]. Amazing Radio's track record programming [comparable artists or recent similar placements] suggests [Track Title] aligns with your current editorial direction.

The song is [length], available across all streaming platforms.

For genre-fluid tracks, explicitly name both influences so curators can categorise accurately. Reference Amazing Radio's recent additions in similar spaces if you can identify them. Avoid over-explaining the blending; state it clearly and move on. Help the curator understand not just what the track sounds like, but which Amazing Radio listener demographic would connect with it.

Frequently asked questions

Does Amazing Radio prefer portal submissions or direct PR pitches?

Both channels work, but serve different purposes. Portal submissions enter the general curation pool and work best for independent artists building credibility; direct pitches to programme teams or established pluggers suit artists with existing momentum or specific show alignment. For maximum exposure, use the portal as your baseline and follow up with strategic direct outreach to curators who've championed similar artists.

How long should I wait before following up on an Amazing Radio submission?

Wait 14-21 days minimum before a light follow-up. Amazing Radio processes enormous submission volumes, so patience is essential. If you follow up, include a genuine new development (playlist placement, radio support, live booking) rather than simply asking for feedback. A second follow-up is reasonable after another 10-14 days, but beyond that, move on and focus energy elsewhere.

Can I pitch the same track to Amazing Radio UK and US simultaneously?

Yes, but stagger submissions by 3-5 days and tailor messaging to each territory's current programming. Amazing Radio UK and US operate independently with different curators and playlist priorities, so whilst the same track may fit both operations, approach each one separately and highlight local relevance (if applicable). Simultaneous identical pitches can read as impersonal and may reduce placement likelihood.

What metrics or achievements should I highlight in a pitch?

Lead with credible achievements only: radio support from other stations, playlist placements on curated indie platforms (like Spotify editorial playlists), festival bookings, or press features from established music media. Avoid vanity metrics like total streams or social followers unless they're genuinely exceptional. Curators care about validation from other gatekeepers, not raw numbers — credibility compounds placement prospects.

Should I mention competing Amazing Radio submissions in my pitch?

No. Never reference that you've submitted elsewhere or mention competing artists explicitly. Curators assume you're pitching multiple outlets simultaneously, so naming other submissions or comparisons looks amateurish. Focus entirely on why your specific track fits Amazing Radio's current direction, not where else it may or may not land.
