Collaborator Lead Research & Outreach

I’m building a fresh list of potential collaborators for my independent music projects and need someone who can dig through social media to surface the right people, not just anyone with a profile. You’ll research emerging and mid-level artists, producers, and other creatives whose style or audience aligns with mine, gather their publicly available details, then add a short personalised angle that shows why a collaboration would make sense for both sides.

Here’s how I see the flow: use the platforms’ search tools, hashtags, follower graphs, and recent posts to spot promising matches; confirm they’re active and responsive; note their handles, primary genre, and any telling snippets (e.g., “just announced they’re looking for vocal features”). Each entry should come with a concise, conversational opener I can drop straight into a DM or email.

A clean, shareable spreadsheet or Airtable base with filters for genre, location, and engagement metrics will work best for delivery. If you already have tricks for verifying genuine engagement versus vanity numbers, I’m all ears. Let me know your approach, any tools you lean on, and a sample of similar work if possible so I can gauge fit quickly.
