How to Send Your Demo
Prepare Your Demo: Create a professional and polished demo that showcases your best work. Include 2-3 of your strongest songs that highlight your talent, creativity, and unique style. Ensure that the recordings are of high-quality and well-produced.
Craft an Artist Bio: Write a concise and engaging artist biography that highlights your background, musical journey, achievements, and any notable performances or collaborations. Be sure to include your contact information and links to your online presence (website, social media, streaming platforms).
Find the Right Contact: Look for the appropriate contact person at the record label to whom you can send your demo. This might be an A&R representative, talent scout, or submissions department. Check the label’s website or social media pages for specific instructions on demo submissions.
Follow Submission Guidelines: It’s important to follow the label’s specific submission guidelines. Some labels prefer email submissions, while others may have an online submission form. Pay attention to any format requirements, file size limitations, or additional information they request.
Write a Professional Cover Letter: Compose a concise and professional cover letter to accompany your demo. Introduce yourself, explain why you believe your music is a good fit for the label, and express your enthusiasm for the opportunity to work with them. Keep it brief and to the point.
Submit and Keep Track: Send your demo following the provided submission guidelines. Keep a record of the date and method of submission, as well as any correspondence or confirmation received from the label. This will help you stay organized and follow up if necessary.
Be Patient and Follow Up: After submitting your demo, be patient. Record labels receive numerous submissions and it may take time for them to review yours. If you haven’t heard back within the specified timeframe mentioned by the label, consider following up with a polite and brief email to inquire about the status of your submission.
