FAQ - How do I get signed to a record label?
In today’s competitive climate, major and indie labels are looking for something unique, talented and well developed. Record labels are in the business of making money from the artists that they sign. The labels want bands and artists that have built a following by touring and that have already sold self-released CDs. Be smart, do your homework! Know what demographic your fans are in, and develop savvy marketing strategies that will help you stand out from the rest of the unsigned artists. Apply to play at a BMI showcase in your local area. Apply to showcase at one of the top music conferences, such as SXSW or CMJ. Attend seminars and other educational workshops where key A&R people will be in attendance and contact the local colleges, radio stations and newspapers to further publicize you. Build a unique and informative website that includes a bio, photos, song samples and tour dates.

Hello. I am Rick and I write songs for deathmetal. And what I am looking for is someone to sing them. Or give me idea’s on what the vocalist wants to sing about and I can write the song. I am very violent, disturbing, demonic and full of hate. I am unable to play instruments, otherwise I would do that myself. So if anyone out there is reading this, send me an e-mail at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) And by the way, God hates us all.
