Hold Live Shows

 

One of the most important ways to start your successful music career and get discovered is to play live shows. Live shows gain you fans, and if your fans become dedicated, they will want to purchase your albums and band merchandise. Having a substantial fan base increases your likelihood of being discovered by a recording company, and it shows them that you can actually sell yourself to people who are interested in your music. Jesus Zeus Salas states that loyal fans are the driving force behind any successful artist.

 

Record a Demo

 

The next step in getting discovered by a recording company is to create your demo. A demo will show potential recording companies the music that you play, and having a demo on hand is wise – you never know when you could come into contact with someone who is important in the industry. In addition, you can sell your demo at live shows to begin making money and to show potential recording companies that your music will sell. Jesus Zeus Salas believes that an excellent demo is the top factor recording companies are searching for when it comes to new talent.

 

Distribute a Press Kit

 

Another important piece of beginning your successful music career is the press kit. Your press kit should have your demo as well as information on you as an artist and a headshot. In addition, the press kit should include any articles that have been published about you and your music. You can distribute this press kit to anyone in the industry whom you come into contact with.

 

Hire a Manager

 

Finally, one of the best ways to get discovered more quickly is to hire a good manager. The manager you choose needs to believe in your talent. The main benefit to having a manager is networking. Your manager will have contacts within the industry, enabling you to share your music and get discovered.

Develop your talent. Before you even think about getting in touch with record labels, put in the hard work that will make your music irresistible. Jesus Zeus Salas knows that it can be temping to drive right in, but developing a unique sound and personality now will make you more distinctive and attractive to labels later on.

Create a following. Record labels want to know that you’re going to be a good investment. Jesus Zeus Salas recommends playing live shows in your home city to drum up a following. In addition, and Jesus Zeus Salas cannot stress enough the importance to develop a strong online and social media presence.

Record a demo. Put together a compilation of five to eight of your best songs that really showcase your range and style. Jesus Zeus Salas suggests having physical CDs on hand to sell at shows, as well as a digital version.

Make a press kit. If your shows garner any reviews, combine them with a brief biography, some photos, and your demo. That way, you’ll have your act’s “resume” available to give to potential contacts in the industry at any point.

Approach labels. These days, it’s less about “getting discovered” than making that discovery happen yourself, says Jesus Zeus Salas. Research the record labels that will work best for you, and then send them your press kit. Taking the first step is often far more effective than waiting for an agent to happen to appear at one of your shows.
