Music Label Contacts and How to Use Them To Get Signed
Using your music label contacts to get signed with a good record label is not an easy task
, and it takes a lot of daily effort and talent to impress a company enough to give you money.
Below you will find a link to a massive list of music label contacts but first I want to give you some tips you can use to impress them:
1. Work on your music everyday and make sure that it's current and getting a good buzz online.
2. Make sure that all the members of your band are committed to the musicians lifestyle, because it's much harder to change members once you have all signed that record deal.
3. You will need to have a budget to send your stuff out to the music label contacts. There are quite a few costs involved like CDRs and postage.
4. When you ask A&R to come to your gig make sure that you book a show that is very close to their office.
5. Make sure you fill up the venue when you have A&R there because they will not sign you if you don't have any fans.
6. Try and get a manager who has gotten other bands signed in the past. Not only will he have experience but he will also have good music label contacts aswell.
7. Make sure your demo songs have a good intro. You have about five second to impress.
8. Work on your image and make it strong, clear and current.
9. Don't get drunk or take drugs before a show. You will have a great time but the crowd will think you're an idiot.
Final Thoughts.
Your music label contacts are the most precious thing you have in your music career, and you should work with them all the time to build your relationships.
Never try and get singed too early because you will burn all your bridges and they will never listen to your stuff again.
