Answer 1

Honestly It is not as hard as everyone makes it seem. it is not the simplest thing in the world, it will take hard work and patience but it can be done. Have a demo of your music on hand with you when you perform. Find local clubs and other places that showcase new unsigned talent, even smaller cities should have a place like this. Get your sound out there as much as you can. A few of my friends use MYSPACE for a band page to get their sound out as well. Then look at the local book store, borders, or barnes and nobles and search their reference section. They have a ton of books on various subjects, look for something that lists companies, there is a book called the Writers Digest, it lists publishing companies and agencies and how to submit everything, look for something similar for MUSIC instead of writing. Once you find an agent you need to submit a quary letter.. DO not send unsolicited (unasked for) mail to any record company or agency as they will just throw it out or send it back. Once an agent likes what you have to say they will request your demo tape... from there you should be able to get signed.... again not easy, but not impossible. If you are looking for a quick way to have your music, and don't want a big paycheck you can record and make your own CD's at any local recording studio and then sell it from your own home or what not...

Hope this helps.

Go online and look for A&R reps. They are the ones that look for talent. But honestly, good luck. Most people know someone to get a deal. Very rarely do they sign someone with a demo and a dream.
