For those upcoming in the music
industry,here is a little tip on how
to go about you career as a
starter.
1. Record a good song, Sample
opinions from a bunch of people
(friends & strangers alike) and be
sure at least 60% or more like
the song.

2. Prepare urself as a product.
Work on your image and be sure
ure “attractive” to the average
person that comes across u or ur
music.
3. Get ready to perform. create
performance routines, find an
exciting way to deliver ur song to
any audience that will leave an
impression.
4. Create an EPK (Electronic press
kit) which includes good photos,
a bio and ur music. Make sure its
of a size that can be sent as an
email.
5. Once u are SURE ur song is
good to go, make as many copies
of ur CD as possible. I’d say at
least 1,000 (Make sure ur CD art
has ur info)
6. Create a myspace, twitter,
facebook fan page, reverbnation
and upload ur EPK to each of
them including your song,
photos, bio etc.
7. Make a list of radio stations
within ur reach. I advice that u
start with regional promo. Its
easier to manage. Nationwide
can come later.
8. Make a list of the nightclubs
and places where music is played
publicly within your reach. Again,
regional promo is easier to
manage.
9. Make a list of DJs and Radio
personalities within your reach.
10. Every entertainment
journalist that has a column in a
magazines or newspaper has an
email address. Make a list of all of
them.
11. Get all this lists you have
compiled together and create a
realistic timeline of how long it
will take to contact everybody.
12. Create an email address and
in the signature section, include
all your twitter, fb, reverbnation
info and link to your song.
13. Send ur EPK to every contact
on your list that you can reach
via email and start booking
appointments for the ones u cant
reach.
14. Get your CDs to all the Radio
DJs, club DJs, bars, Night clubs,
Radio stations, Radio
personalities, and everyone on
your list.
15. Start your online campaign,
start building your fanbase by
sending your music to people. Do
everything in ur power for ppl to
listen.
If you follow the above
tips,you’re such on ur way to the
top…
But also note: things don’t
happen at once,they take gradual
process,so be patient and work
hard.
