Independent Artists in Paris: Book a Free Music Consultation This December

Building connections in person. TJPL Media Network returns to Paris this December for free consultations with independent artists.

TJPL Media Network returns to Paris from 7–10 December 2026, offering free, one-hour consultations with founder and editor-in-chief Tamara Jenna. Appointments are available to book online, with all sessions conducted in English.

You have music you believe in. Perhaps you have already released it, played it live and watched people respond. Yet when it comes to reaching the press, planning the next campaign or finding listeners beyond your existing audience, the next step can feel less certain.

For independent artists in Paris and across Île-de-France, this December offers an opportunity to sit down with the person behind TJPL Media Network and discuss those questions directly.

Whether you are preparing your first single, developing an album campaign or thinking about reaching audiences outside France, bring your music, your ambitions and the questions you have been putting off.

A Return to Paris, With More Time for Its Independent Artists

This is our second visit to Paris this year, following time spent exploring the city’s independent music community in May.

That visit took us through the sounds of Montmartre, into Balades Sonores and into conversations about the people making music beyond the most familiar names. Returning is part of building closer relationships with that community. There is only so much you can understand through an email or a submission form. Meeting gives us time to ask questions, hear what matters to you and understand where you want your work to go.

For an artist based in Paris, a conversation with a UK-based independent music publisher can also offer another perspective on how you introduce your project to English-speaking media and audiences.

You do not need to arrive with every answer. That is part of the reason to book.

Which Music Consultation Should You Choose?

There are three options. Choose the one closest to the decision you are trying to make.

Broad Assessment: Where Should You Focus Next?

Making music independently often means being the artist, project manager and promoter at once. Everything demands attention. Not everything deserves equal time.

The 1-1 Consultation – Broad Assessment is a starting point if you want to discuss your overall direction.

Perhaps you have several releases behind you but feel unsure what they are building towards. Perhaps your sound has changed and your artist presentation has not caught up.

Or perhaps you have a clear ambition but need to decide what comes first.

Bring the questions that connect the different parts of your career.

Music Distribution & Strategy: What Comes After Finishing the Record?

Having a release ready creates another set of decisions. When should it come out? How does it connect with your previous work? What are you asking listeners to do once they find it?

Choose the Music Distribution & Strategy Consultation if distribution and release planning are your priorities.

For Paris musicians thinking beyond their local audience, useful questions might include how to approach an international release, where promotion fits into the schedule and what needs to be ready before announcing new music.

If you are planning releases for 2027, December is a useful moment to examine those decisions.

Music Promotion & Magazine Placement: How Do You Present Your Music to the Press?

You know what went into your record. A journalist encountering your name for the first time does not.

What should they understand first? Which part of your story belongs in the opening paragraph? Have you made the music easy to access, and given the reader a reason to listen?

Choose the Music Promotion & Magazine Placement Consultation to discuss promotion and relevant publication opportunities.

It is particularly relevant if you are a Paris-based artist preparing to approach English-

language music media, reviewing your press materials or considering how magazine coverage could fit into a wider campaign.

Who Are These Paris Sessions For?

These conversations are aimed at independent musicians with something specific they want to move forward.

You might be a singer-songwriter preparing a debut, a band planning its next release, a producer developing an artist project or a rapper trying to communicate the story behind a new body of work.

You may already have an audience in France and want to explore how you introduce yourself elsewhere. You may still be working out who your audience is.

The starting point is your project as it stands today.

What Should You Bring?

To make the most of the hour, have a few things ready:

• Links to one or two tracks that represent your current direction.

• Your artist website or main social profile.

• Any release dates or plans you are working towards.

• Your biography or press kit, if you have one.

• Two or three questions you most want to discuss.

Unfinished plans are welcome. A clear question is often more useful than a polished presentation.
