Getting The Demo Heard
Aug 26th, 2010 by surfnwho
Until you have music business advisors in your corner trying to promote you and there is a buzz going around about you, your demo will not reach the decision makers at the record labels. Record companies on a daily basis receive thousands of unsolicited CDs. Most likely your CD will be tossed into a bin located in a remote room filled with overflowing bins of CDs.
If you do decide to mail your CD to record label, call and first speak to someone. After sending your CD follow up to determine if the targeted individual received your material and another follow up call to determine if it was listened to. Submit 4 to 6 songs and send a bio and picture of yourself. If you cannot sleep waiting just remember this isn’t the preferred way to submit your material to major record labels.
