Digital Distribution Series with Bandcamp’s Aly Gillani

We’ll be joined by Aly Gillani. Aly is the European Label Rep for Bandcamp, a thriving, global music community where fans discover new artists, intimately connect with them, and directly compensate them for their work. Aly’s role involves expanding and managing the growing network of labels and artists using Bandcamp to connect with their fans.


Aly is also the founder / A&R of First Word Records. Originally a club promoter, he ran the seminal clubnights Funky Mule and New Bohemia in his adopted city of Leeds for many years.


Bandcamp should be familiar to most independent artists, especially after their recent ‘Bandcamp Fridays’ campaign, where 100% of the money fans spend on the site during the first Friday of every month goes directly to the artists. The company believes that artists—no matter the size of their audience—must be compensated fairly and transparently for their work.

Fans have paid artists $418 million using Bandcamp, and $7.8 million in the past 30 days alone. Bandcamp is used by millions of fans around the world and is an indispensable tool for hundreds of thousands of artists and more than 3,000 labels.


Aly will give us an overview of how to build your fanbase and make money on Bandcamp, giving advice on:

Design
Editorial Coverage
Bandcamp Messaging
Bandcamps Live Streaming Project
Vinyl Pressing
and much more...
