Sending your music out to labels can be a slow and sometimes painful process but it's important to not get taken down by any rejection and keep plugging away. Here are some tips for increasing your chances of success:
-
Research and target appropriate labels: Do your research and find labels that match your style and genre of music. It's important to target labels that are a good fit for your sound, rather than just sending out your music to every label you come across.
-
Build a relationship: Before you send out your music, try to build a relationship with the label. Follow them on social media, engage with their content, attend their events if possible, and get to know the people behind the label.
-
Have a professional presentation: Make sure your music is mixed to the best of your ability, don't jump the gun here.
-
Be selective with your tracks: Don't just send every track you've ever made to a label. Be selective and only send your best and most relevant tracks to each label.
-
Personalize your approach: When sending your music out, personalize your approach to each label. Address the label by name, and include a brief note explaining why you think your music would be a good fit for their label.
-
Follow up: Don't be afraid to follow up with the label after sending your music. A friendly reminder or check-in email can help keep your music top of mind.
- Use any rejection to push forward, keep learning and progressing, don't get beaten down by it but learn how to work with it to reach your goals
Remember, getting signed to a label takes time and persistence. Keep refining your sound, building relationships, and honing your craft, and you'll increase your chances of success over time.
