Once you have your own website, you want to make sure all of your branding is consistent. One thing musicians often overlook is having a custom email address. This one small detail can really make a difference. Here’s how: 

1. Custom Only to You 

An example of a custom band email address is info@youraritstname.com. Since you own the domain (.com), nobody else can use it for their website or email accounts. Anything custom allows you to set yourself apart. 

Free email providers like Gmail are saturated, and finding a professional name can be challenging. Many artists have to settle on something like yourartistname@gmail.com, which can make you look unprofessional. 

2. Take It To the Next Level 

It makes a bigger impact if you hand someone a business card with a custom email instead of one that ends with @yahoo, @aol, or even @gmail. This extra step shows people that you take your career seriously enough to cover all the fine details. 

3. Stay Organized 

With custom emails, you can set up an account for each member of your band, and even for different team members like booking@, manager@, press@, etc. This is a great way for your band to stay connected and organized. 

4. Get Better Email Results 

Many organizations block free email accounts to try to block spam. A custom email address is more likely to get through filters and into your recipient’s inbox. It's also easily recognized by the recipient so they can make sure it’s whitelisted to receive mail from you.

Syncs to your devices 

Set up your email address on your mobile device, and it'll sync your emails, as well as your calendars, contacts, and tasks. 

Shared Calendar 

With your custom email account, you can also set up a calendar to share with the rest of your band. It’s a great way to keep track of rehearsals or gigs, and you can even set reminders for your band mates.
