What is Rifflead?
Rifflead is an all-in-one CRM and management operating system for artist managers and independent musicians. It keeps every curator, journalist, playlist, booker, sync and radio contact in one place, tracks each pitch through a simple pipeline, hosts a shareable press kit (EPK), tracks shows and royalties, and surfaces the follow-ups you would otherwise forget — for a single artist or a whole roster.
Is Rifflead built for artist managers?
Yes — Rifflead is designed manager-first. Run your whole roster from one login, keep each artist’s contacts, pipeline, shows and royalties separate but a tap apart, and share venues and industry contacts across artists. The Team plan covers up to 5 artists in one shared workspace; Enterprise covers larger rosters.
Who is it for?
Artist managers and management teams running a roster, solo independent artists doing their own outreach, and labels or agencies. The Artist plan is one workspace for one artist; the Team plan handles up to 5 artists in one shared workspace; and Enterprise covers bigger rosters on custom terms.
How is Rifflead different from a spreadsheet or a generic CRM like HubSpot?
Generic CRMs and spreadsheets are not built for music. Rifflead speaks the workflow out of the box — curator, press, playlist, sync, radio and booking contacts; a pitch pipeline; a hosted EPK that logs outreach the moment you send it; plus shows and royalties. There are no templates to build and no fields to configure before it is useful.
How much does it cost, and is there a free trial?
The Artist plan is $9.99/month and the Team plan is $34.99/month (up to 5 artists). Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime before it ends. For 6 or more artists, Enterprise is billed annually by invoice — email hello@rifflead.com for a quote.
How does sending my EPK work?
You build a hosted press kit at your own URL, pick which contacts to send it to, and Rifflead drafts the message from your EPK and logs each contact as “Pitched” in your pipeline. Connecting your own inbox to send directly is on the way.
Does Rifflead help me get discovered on Google and AI search?
Yes — SEO and GEO (generative engine optimization) come built in. Every EPK and track page you publish is a real, crawlable web page carrying the structured data (schema.org) that Google and AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI overviews use to understand and cite music. Rifflead writes an accurate description and FAQ from your real details and links your pages together, so you gain visibility and turn up when someone searches your name or your music — the moment you publish, with zero SEO work on your part.
Is my data private?
Yes. Each workspace is isolated at the database level, so your contacts, pipeline and EPK are visible only to you (and your teammates on the Team plan). Your data is never sold or shared with third parties.
