Hi again! I submitted my songs for a competition for this label looking for an artist to develop, publish and basically 'sell to the world'. I just entered it on a whim and didn't expect to hear anything about it again. The ceo of the company however emailed me and is extremely interested in...

Hi there again, just wanted to know how much time you should give a label or a contact to respond to you after you send them something? I met a publicist/ radio-plugger who gave me her email for me to send my stuff to. I was just wondering what's a realistic time frame before I send a...

Ok cool thanks

Hi, wow didn't even know this thread existed- funnily enough it makes a lot of sense about the bigger labels not minding an unfinished product! But in relation to question 'b' (sorry, didn't mean to make it look like an essay topic), if you don't have 100's of fans on your website but they...

Hi advice guy, I don't know if you remember me, I directed you to my myspace www.myspace.com.karendesilva - it was quite a while ago?? Anyway, you gave me pretty good feedback in terms of my songs and approaching labels, etc. I did approach a few labels and didn't really get a response apart...

Hi, thanks for that. Yes, point very much taken! These are just the first songs I've recorded so while I've been doing this I've really tried to work on my songwriting. I feel like this is one of the areas I could try to stand out as I think good songs are the most important thing, obviously...

Hi 'advice guy', I've been reading this thread for a while and would love for you to take a look at my myspace page and tell me what you think. I really like the feedback you've been giving to people- it can be incredibly hard to find people who can give you informed feedback that's honest...
