As someone previously answered you need to worry first and foremost about copyrighting your work, Type out the lyrics with you name on the sheet appearing as the songwriter, date it,seal it in an envelope and mail it to yourself, DO NOT OPEN IT, and put it up for safe keeping somewhere like a safe or safety deposit box. This should establish what is commonly referred to as a poor man's copyright on the work. \n\nAfter you've done that....\n\nMusic producers aren't hard to find per say however you might want to work with a music compser/arranger to finish the piece and then consider pursuing publishing rights on the work through BMI or ASCAP so that your work can be available to other members of those two groups in their perspective libraries. Countless musicians and producers scan their extensive catalogs looking for new music and songs. TAXI is an organization that also pitches work to record companies, television and movie studios. It costs money to be a member of all these groups I've mentioned but, if the investment pays off???

you need to produce a demo disc of no more than 3 songs,then along with a CV,a photo and a covering letter send it out to every company you can.Also send out the same package to local and national radio-stations.If you don't hear back don't worry send out another, then another and another etc.............................................\nCOPYRIGHT:Once you have put pen to paper the work you produce is covered by copyright but make sure that everything you do is signed,dated and accompanied by the c in a circle.Also keep a diary of when you completed work and dates you send work out and who too.

I have a couple of friends that play gigs throughout town.  You need a following of people.  I would have a mail list set up at your gigs and inform them of when you are playing next.  When you have a big enough following, you can get into places like the Viper Room (in LA) or other places  (depending on your type of music).  These types of places have A&R scouts, managers etc.. \n\nDo everything you can to get the word out.  Go to myspace and start a band following there.  It also is a fast and easy way to let people know where you are gonna be playing..\n\nSending unsolicited tapes are the long shot way of getting a contract simply because there are so many submissions.. most of the time they end up in the trash (unless you are unique sounding or spectacular)..\n\nGood luck..

Hiya.\nWhat you should do is get some of your talent onto tape or CD!  Make some of your own songs up, or sing ones that already exist.\nBacking music is also good, but the record company listening to it wants to hear you, wants to hear versatility and depth.\nThen when you are done, get the address's of about 10-20 record labels and send off a copy of your tape/CD to them.  The more you send to, the better.\n\nGood luck\n\n\nPS:\nYou can get their address's from the Internet by typing in Sony record label etc.
