**Sorry. WHAT'S.

Answer 1

This question has baffled many artists over the years. I know so many performers with great talent who can't get a break, and yet people like Brittney Spears, who is little more than a pretty face, can rocket to stardom.

Talent helps, surely, but in the recording industry, image is everything. You really have to match the image that the label is trying to market at that moment. So, your best bet is to make a couple of REALLY good demos (spend some money for good studio time), and send the demos off along with some photos or videos of you performing live so they can see what your performance image is, and then choose record labels that match the style of music you play.

Record labels like young artists -- they market better to the target demographics (13 - 25 yr olds), and, if they're successful, the record companies can have a longer run with them. 30 wouldn't be too old to break into the business. 50 probably would be.

Good luck.

Answer 2

if u have talent, if u know people and if you have talent. If u have no talent, you simply do not go anywhere. if u have a certain " something" aka , "it" , then u will go far.
