I'm a songwriter trying to place my songs with a publisher or an established performer..any ideas?

Question

My songs (I think) fall into the Americana genre...folk, rock, blues, with a country flavor. I'm in the process of looking for legitimate publishers on the internet, but most will not accept unsolisited material, or they ask for money up front. I'm independent without an attorney, no one to represent me. All my songs are done professionally in a state-of-the-art studio. I have entered some of them in a song writting contest, winners will be notified in the fall. I have copyright protection. Of course I'm told by family and friends that they are GREAT!! I need an objective opinion from a music industry professional. I recently found a few publishing companys that will accept unsolisited material (and didn't ask for $) and I'm waiting for their reply. I'm open to suggestions...an honest professional critique would be welcome. If nothing else, I think this excersice can be very therapeutic..hee, hee. Thanks for listening.

Answer 1

Send the demos to the producers of these reality TV shows that features singers. Suggest a new show for song writers.

If you have performing talent as well, try out for these shows and feature your own songs.

Answer 2

properly i've got been attempting to place in writing a competent song for some 365 days, yet none of them have come out precisely spectacular. yet I in many cases merely sing approximately regardless of i prefer. I sing approximately what I did that day, what i'm doing at that instantaneous. of direction I by no skill write it down, 'reason all of them sound stupid and repetitive. So i could wager merely end thinking approximately it spectacular now. whilst something has stimulated you (like perhaps you obtain a clean puppy, or your existence has merely long gone screwy on you), merely play the track on your head. Or a minimum of the 1st couple of measures or lines. Then, shop that rhythm on your head, and as quickly as you could, write it down. think of heavily of what you're gonna upload after that, otherwise it may destroy the completed song. Then slowly progression interior the song. Going notice with the aid of notice, degree with the aid of degree. stable luck! ;)
