3 Tips to Getting Signed to a Record Label

The Talent ApproachWhether you are a rapper or singer, no matter what genre you may focus on bottom line is that you need talent! How do you find out? Produce top notch music and receive feedback from friends and others out of your circle.

Team Work Makes the Dream WorkIn today’s age record labels are cutting down on the “artist development” aspect and instead are signing music artists who already have a fan base as well as popularity as an artist. Promotion will be your key and now with online social media presence you are able to spread your music a lot more efficiently. Find a group of close friends who are willing to help support and spread your music with you as well, you will need a team.

Network is Your Net worthHave you ever turned on the radio and as you hear the music you say to yourself, I can make better music then that, chances are they have used the network approach. Knowing people and connections within the industry has been proven to be a huge competitive advantage. It doesn’t matter how good you are if no one know about your music. Collaborate and connect with other artists or producers whether big or small. Performing at open mics or gigs can help create relationships with those in your industry. Lastly, build fan base within your local community and city then eventually expand.
