Free Electronic Press Kits template from ReverbNation.com K-Know is a new rising star straight out of Elvis' home town Memphis, TN and the home of the blues.  Now it is hard to standout these days, but this artist has accomplished that goal with flying colors.  His music is not safe at all so if you are looking for a safe artist, I recommend you leave this page right now.  If you are looking for an artist that pushes the envelope and never fails to keep you guessing, I urge you to take a listen to K-Know's new music.

How Long Should You Promote an Album? My name is Kelvin, the R&B singer and I have been promoting music for about twelve years. I promoted myself right into getting noticed by a prominent indie label by the name of KBJ Records. I like to think that I have learned a little about perseverance, when it comes to promotion. I do not pretend to know all of the answers, but I will say that I have seen many independent musicians make big mistakes in regards to how long they should promote an album.
