Are you a great artist looking to get signed by a successful record label? You have just had your CD mixed and mastered & bought 1,000 CDs from a manufacturer. What do you do now? Artists & musicians these days need to take matters into their own hands. I suggest that you buy the newest music industry resource book and start sending packages to all of the most successful record label A&R people, music managers music agents & music producers in the music business. You can get the greatest music industry resource which is called TheRecordDeal101.com. Don’t just send your demo hoping that someone is going to listen to it. There are ways that you can get permission from a Record Label to send your music. It is very important to create a professional sounding demo, take studio quality 8x10 pictures & have a complete one page biography. Like with any product under the sun packaging is very important. If you are not familiar with photoshop it will definitely be worth it to hire a professional graphic designer to design your CD cover. These days the most important thing you will need as a recording artist is a great website. Most record company A&R people, music managers, music agents, music publishers & music producers will ask you if they can check out your website instead of having you send them a demo. Make sure that your website allows visitors to listen & download your music samples. If you really want a record deal with a successful record company you will need to go to great lengths to promote your own music. I recommend that you get a professional promotion package together your self. Some record labels insist that you already have some kind of following. If you are going to sell your records online you should get a barcode first at http://www.cdbaby.net/resources/barcode.htm. If you are already a seasoned recording artist or music producer you should already have a complete & mastered LP or close to it. As a professional recording artist it is your responsibility to get with music producers & complete albums. You should have a head start. Creating records is sometimes the least of you’re A&R person’s problems. So now you have your music demo, pictures, biography, a great website with pictures & audio clips. Sounds like your ready to approach music managers, a&r, music agents, music producers & music publishers.
