URL Development You may be limiting yourself with just a My Space, or Facebook. For example what happens if an A&R wants to download your Press Pack, or read a music or concert review, look at a detailed concert schedule? The best angle is utilizing both My Space & a URL. This is the best way to get your point across. A URL is not expensive when you consider the overall impact it will have. It also separates you from other bands that don't have a URL & clearly shows you took the time & initiative to go above & beyond something that was for free. The truth is anyone can start a band, anyone can launch a My Space page, but it takes skill & business savvy to build an effective & professional looking web site.

Press Pack development When I was an A&R I would sometimes review hundreds of Press Packs & "1 Sheets" in just one sitting, so your Press Pack has got to say the all right things, if not you could end up in the round file within seconds. OK who's the band, where are they from, what do they sound like, why the hell should I care? Over the years, after working with prominent A&R's, producers, journalists, etc, I am well aware of all the components that make for an effective Press Pack.

A&R Representative A-List Chances are if your music is good, there is a A&R looking for it right now. So why not put your music directly on their desk. The A&R Representative is the gatekeeper to your deal so over the years IMD has developed an exclusive A&R "A List" Registry that has all the contact information of hundreds of A&R Representatives all around the country and abroad designed to get your music noticed. A-List includes mailing address, e-mail, and phone numbers.

Music Placement Companies Many independent musicians, bands, composers don’t have access to labels and publishing companies to pitch their music to producers. Music Placement Companies can help fill the void. These companies present the music of independent artists and composers to the film and TV communities that may be searching for it. This is one approach some artists seem to like, however there are some things to consider. These Companies serve as a middleman between you the artist & the Music Supervisor. Having sad that they get a percentage of what you could earn independently.

Movie Music Supervisor A-List Chances are if you have written, sequenced, electronica, dub out, chill type music there is a Movie Music Supervisor looking to sequence it into a TV or Film production right now. IMD has an extensive Music Supervisor "A-List" Registry that lists hundreds of Movie Music Supervisors around the country & abroad. These professionals work directly for Film Producers, and it's there job to provide music to "sync" into various scenes throughout the film. This process also applies to TV productions as well. IMD recommends you submit your music, in conjunction with a solid press pack, "1 sheet", and formal letter stating your licensing terms for availability, and things can get really interesting IMD also recommends you follows up each package with a formal phone call, & e-mail correspondence. Most of the Music Sups I've been in contact with welcome these kinds of professional looking packages, & keep them on file until music is needed to make a production deadline by a Producer. Producers are always searching for the perfect piece of music to fit the perfect scene, why not put your music right under their noses.
