How to get solicited in 2008

When a Record Label A&R, Music Manager, Music Publisher or Music Producer states that they only accept solicited material this basically means that you need to ask permission to send a package. Simply mailing them your demo & promotional material in high hopes that they will listen to your music is not likely to be successful, although this strategy has worked for some artists in the past. Making contact with your intended music industry professional & making sure that they are expecting your package seriously increases your chances of being heard. It is also important to get your songs Mastered by a professional before sending them out. You should definitely make contact with those that accept unsolicited material to make sure that they are expecting your package as well. You should always call first before submitting your material. This will ensure that your package will get priority over another unsolicited package.

You don’t have to be a famous music mogul to be solicited. When speaking with A&RS, managers, publishers & producers you must be extremely professional even when you are speaking with an assistant. These people are responsible for filtering out calls from amateurs. The important thing is to build a relationship with everyone you come in contact with. Find out the names of everyone that you come in contact with. Ask them questions like who they have worked with in the past & what styles of music they prefer. It is much better to pinpoint A&RS, Managers, producers & publishers that work in your style of music. Don’t waste your efforts! Always be ready to explain who you are & what you are doing.

If you have a website with some music clips the manager or label will tend to listen to what you have to say. Don’t ever call a record label like a rookie & start telling them that you are platinum & whatever. These days the most important thing an artist can have is a website. We wrote an extensive section in the All Music Industry Contacts CD-Rom that explains exactly how to build your website for little or no money. When calling record labels it is extremely important to make friends with assistants, secretaries & receptionists. Ask them if they will accept your package & listen to your music. You may even be doing them a favor by entertaining them for a few minutes. Remember that some people who work at record labels are just doing a job & sometimes don’t get the money or respect that they deserve. Try & light up their day with your upbeat personality. If you want to be in the music industry you must be able to handle rejection as well.

If I get negative results when trying to speak with someone it only makes me more persistent & determined to prove to them that I am important. Don’t be surprised if people are rude or a little hard to deal with, this is the music business. Sometimes you may have to kill them with kindness. At least if they hear your name & listen to your music you made a new contact in the music industry. When an assistant answers the phone you should already know what you are going to say to him or her. Don’t sound anxious or be overly aggressive. Think of the assistants, receptionists & secretaries as a filter.

The warning no unsolicited material is usually used so that record companies don’t get swamped with submissions. It’s not that A&RS & Managers don’t want to listen to new material. It’s more like they don’t have the time to listen to everything. If a record label hasn’t heard of you yet you should always give them a call first. When your package is solicited it gets priority over something that is not solicited. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they aren’t going to listen to your music at all. Most record labels do have people that listen to unsolicited material. It is usually an assistant A&R or an intern. Other companies may throw unsolicited material away or send it back to you. It is a known fact that a lot of huge artists where discovered by someone listening to unsolicited material.

Record Labels, Music Managers, Music Publishers & Music Producers get a good number of packages each day. When you call them to let them know that you are going to send a package, ask them for some kind of code that you can write on the package so that they know it is solicited. I’m not saying that this is standard practice by most labels anymore but they will still do it. Another great way to ensure that your package will get reviewed is to have a messenger deliver it. I know it is expensive so only use this tactic when your odds are good. Only use this strategy when your intended target is looking for an artist or producer with your characteristics.
