So it's about getting "the man" to listen to your songs, right? It doesn't matter how good your music, songs, vibe is unless you can get people to HEAR it?
OK there IS satisfaction in creating a song, it's fulfilling, something you can be proud of. But like most peolpe on this site I would like to be able to do music all the time and not have it interrupted by nine-to-fivesville.
The songs are done, I am happy with them, now I need more people to listen to them, maybe get somebody on "the inside" to project them to the market I believe they deserve.
What steps have I taken to make this happen?
The usual....
Blitzmailed them to record companies, production companies and all of that. Joined Taxi, had some tracks forwarded, unwilling to join other Taxi type organisations because Taxi is expensive enough and I believe the best anyway.
Now I've got a website and my plan is to encourage the "pop-idol" wannabe types to drop by, listen to a song, maybe they can make a demo recording and move on to the same blitzmail program themselves or maybe get heard by some Pete Waterman, Simon Cowell type performing my song.
It's kind of a pyramid scheme in that instead of just me hawking my songs, I'm encouraging others to do it too. There by having more people knocking on more doors with my songs.
I think the idea is good, but how can attract I the right people to my site?
Does anybody know what websites "singers-without-songs" hangout on? Are there any here?
My website is www.song-central.com
I'd love to know what the Gnarled Veterans of this board think of my plan, my site and maybe even the songs.
Let the debate begin.....
