I have some songs – how do I go about getting them to performers?

There’s no single “right” way to get your songs to performers, but here are some helpful steps to consider:

Identify the right artist or performer:

Focus on artists who are likely to record or perform the style of music you’ve written. It’s best to avoid contacting performers who don’t align with your music’s genre or style.

Contact the right person:

Once you’ve identified suitable artists, send a demo of your material to their manager, publisher, or record company. Be aware that many companies do not accept unsolicited material, so research carefully to find the appropriate contact and preferred submission format.

If you don’t have a specific artist in mind:

Consider targeting music publishers who specialise in your genre. Sending demos to publishers who focus on your style increases your chances of success. For example, avoid sending heavy rock demos to publishers who focus on traditional music.

Doing your research and targeting your efforts will improve your chances of getting your songs into the hands of performers.
