How SonicPush Got 34 Playlist Placements for an Independent Artist — Real Data, No Hype
A transparent look at what happens when AI handles your music promotion.
The artist
Bryn Ffrewyll is an independent Christian/worship artist releasing music through self-distribution. No label. No manager. No PR team. Just good music and a Spotify profile.
Before SonicPush: manual outreach to a handful of curators, inconsistent follow-up, and no systematic approach to promotion across 6 released tracks.
What SonicPush did
We connected Bryn Ffrewyll's Spotify profile and let the AI engine run autonomously.
Here's what happened:
The numbers
| Metric | Result | |---|---| | Total pitches sent | 987 | | Curator replies | 51 | | Response rate | 5.2% | | Active playlist placements | 34 | | Curators contacted | 933 | | Tracks promoted | 6 |
How it works
SonicPush doesn't blast the same email to every curator. Each pitch is:
- Personalized — the AI reads the curator's playlist, understands their taste, and writes a pitch that speaks to why this specific track fits their curation style.
- First-person — curators receive an email from Bryn Ffrewyll, not from "SonicPush Marketing Bot." The artist's voice, the artist's story.
- Genre-matched — our system cross-references across 5 genre tags to ensure every curator gets music they'd actually want to playlist.
Response quality
Of the 51 replies, 23 were positive or interested. That's a 45% positive rate among respondents.
Curators who replied said things like "this fits perfectly" and "adding to my rotation." We don't cherry-pick data — these are real responses from real curators.
The timeline
First pitch sent: 2026-04-05 Latest activity: 2026-04-10
The system runs daily. No human intervention needed after initial setup.
What this means for you
If you're an independent artist spending 10-20 hours a week on promotion, SonicPush replaces that with an AI that:
- Discovers curators who match your genre
- Writes pitches that sound like you, not a bot
- Sends, tracks, and follows up automatically
- Reports everything back to your dashboard
