Hi everyone,
I’ve never seriously considered sending my music to record companies until just recently..however, I have been recording my own demo for the past month or so, and minus a couple of tracks I am finished (although there are playing mistakes here and there). Overall I feel really good about it, and I think I’d like to send it out. I would really like to know what the process is like for getting signed…Basically..what do I need to do to go from recording at home to getting signed to a record deal?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
