How To Get A Record Deal

One of the most important things that you should focus on is making your music unique. I've seen too many artists try to record a song that is almost identical to a particular song they've heard on the radio. When it comes to record deals, it just doesn't work.

All the record labels want is one thing that is uniquely different in your music. That's all.

You know what? You're already unique. You are different to every other artist, musician and songwriter on the planet. So what do you do? Bring out that uniqueness in your music. Bring out the you in your music. Let your music reflect you. Your songs should capture your unique personality and individuality.

If you're like me, there are songs that you listen to for the first time and they immediately grab your attention. There is something in them that do that to you, whether it's a particular kind of melody, something in the lyrics, the topic or whatever. Here's what you should do. Write songs with the intention of doing the same thing to your listeners. That's all! Don't do exactly what was done in the song you heard. Make it different and unique, but make it create the same impact.

Regurgitation doesn't get artists record deals. It's uniqueness. Give a record label a song to knock their socks of in the same way that your favorite songs knocked your socks off. As soon as you do this, you'll be on your way.
