i think what you need is some exposure.\ntry to perform on clubs, just make yourself noticed.\nwho knows, a manager might approach you one day.

Firstly, music is an art, and one style of music will never appeal to everybody...and you boys have a head start already and sometimes being the be all and end all of musicians isn't all it's cracked up to be...so enjoy your "growth" as musicians as it comes and you will find your way...you got a LOT of potential and years ahead of you!  \n\nThat being said, this is the world of the INTERNET...all things are possible here.\n\nThere are so many forums and possibilities, just posting here is a step, there's Myspace, and other sites you can create a blog,  support your fansites; heck give out a few single hit cds, have contests, have free sample download clips on your website...you can only put your music and yourselves out there, you can't change peoples taste...but since you're still "new" make yourselves accessible.  Try You Tube, Yahoo Videos....how about some free concerts where only bad music lives!!!   Join in and sing at some free summer festivals and such where large crowds gather.  Get behind and support a charitable cause you believe in.  You will not only be doing something for yourself but something for others who are much worse off than you.  Good deeds speak volumes. You will rise up in no time.\n\nGet your agent to dole out your cds to radio stations.  I'm sure with a nice note and all they will be happy to play it.

Be really creative and just know what you're doing. Like people who're very informed about current issues usually make for good songwriters if they're also musically inclined. But one of those real world-changing things takes lots of brains and ideas to start with.

Put an ad in your local paper for a collaborator.  There's many peeps out there who can put music to your lyrics you just gotta find the one person you can meld with ;-)

Go for it!! You never know, you might just be that one, and if people really like your music you may even make it to the top 40 chart sometime! A prime example of what youre prbly going thru is that there was this kid a few years ago here in my hometown who just loved music and was really dedicated to it. We all told him that he was just dreaming, but now he's the lead singer of the Killers. So if you want it bad enough, my thoughts are that you probably already have it. Good luck buddy!

So you wanna be a rapper, voice is one of the things that will get you a gig in rapping. For example Keak The Sneak his voice is incredibly unique. Well, to change your voice go through puberty.

There is always a place for something new! If you came out with a CD i'd buy it! I'm always into something new! I love country and Rock, Your style (evenescense) I really like that kind of stuff! Not so much Rap it gives me a headache sometimes! If you've come out with a demo tape that is pretty cool but if you feel your good and you get good reviews then go for it! Try it! Nothing says that you can't try! You tried to make a band and you have one now don't you? Good Luck and hope you make it! I'll be sure to get your CD =) Just fill me in when it comes out if I don't see your music videos lol =)

Establish a company (incorporate) and put together a business plan for investors.  It will take a few weeks, but it is very, very legit and if you are serious (and talented), you may find investors.  If you already have demo's, go to music industry executives for critical reviews before trying to find investors.

Try tongue-twisters to practice your mouth in rapping. and try complicated rhymes to wow the audience.

You need a demo. Try to find a local recording studio where you can record 3 or 4 of your songs. Make sure to ask to hear a few samples of artists that they've recorded. Do they sound professional? Are they similar to the style of music you're writing? What do these guys charge per hour?\n\nOnce you have a demo, you can try to book live performances or search for a manager. That's really the first step.

Education is the key. You can gain access to alot of the music biz through different schools of the arts. If you don't want to go that route, try and look for interships at music labels. Or you can try to get internships at local radio stations, music labels and recording studios.

First off, make sure you copyright it. As far as production goes, you can hire a studio with a really good producer and record it yourself. No one in the music industry is going to accept unsolicited material. You need to promote it and get it heard. This is a long difficult process. In music it's the truth that you have to spend money to make money. Also try songramp.com. There is no charge for membership and there are hundreds of independent producers and artists. You can post your lyrics in the "lyrics seeking music" category. If you're serious don't give up.
