Welcome to the latest Issue of the Wedding MusicLetter.
This past week I was asked to create an uplifting playlist for a charity event of hospitality superstars. This got me thinking that maybe my process may benefit you.
How To Create A Playlist
While creating my uplifting playlist, I was thinking about the process I used to create the playlist and how it was assembled and finalized. I also thought this would interest you more than just giving you a playlist.
Why? Because playing music for an event is more than just pressing play on a list of great songs.
You have to think about:
What are the client’s needs?
What is the vibe you want?
Who are you playing music for? What are their demographics and music preferences?
How does the music flow from one song to the next with energy (not mixing talent)?
When selecting songs, are the songs selected familiar to the listeners?
In today’s example, the music is meant for background music and mood setting, not for dancing. The music is for setting a vibe and relaying a message.
