How to embed Instagram on your Encore profile

If you have an Instagram account for your music, we highly recommend connecting it to your Encore profile to boost your chances of winning enquiries. 

We regularly speak to customers who want to see examples of a musician's social media before booking them. Having an active social media presence proves that you're an active musician and also gives customers an informal window into your musical personality and skills. 

So having your Instagram readily available when customers are browsing your profile could be what gives you the edge (assuming it's not just filled with cat memes...)!

How it works

1. While logged in, head to the "Media" section of your profile and select "Photos"
2. Select "Connect Instagram"
3. Follow the steps to authorise your account with Instagram 
4. Your sparkling new Instagram gallery will appear on your public profile (below your standard Image gallery)! 

FAQs

My Instagram feed is too informal to connect to my Encore profile. 
If your gram is just holiday pics and sourdough, then it may be worth steering clear of this feature (until you’ve set up a professional account - which we’d recommend doing!). 

However, even if the quality of the music your publish there isn’t as polished as your showreels, it can still have a beneficial effect, proving to customers that you’re an authentic musician.  

Does this replace my gallery?
Your Instagram feed is embedded on your profile as a separate gallery, below your Image gallery. It’s an important addition to your profile, but we’ve decided that your carefully curated video showreels and promo images should come first before a customer sees your Instagram.  

What if I change my mind? 
You can remove your Instagram gallery from your profile at any time by clicking ‘Remove’.
