Geez I'm trying to remember being 13 or 14, Ha!  When I was that age a nice album was a great gift, so realizing that they are not that readily available or playable I suppose a CD would be nice.  One that would be of a band I like and perhaps makes me think of you when played.

Here is an idea that you can try:\n\nActually you could be your own Music Store/Album Label.\n\nGet yourself a website (I do design them by the way) and then host music from your local bands in the area.  Let the PEOPLE decide who is good, not some hollywood executive.\n\nThen let it grow!\n\nHolla!

start booking shows in your area, record a demo for them and try to get it out to record labels, contact record labels about A&R reps coming out to see them perform, get some CDs made for them and sell them at shows, contact underground touring hip hop or rap artist and try to get them hooked up on a tour or at least a few shows with them. Essentially you do the dirty work so he/she can work on their music. It's not easy. Good luck. This link may help.

A few ideas:\n\n1) Research any talent agents in your area. \n2) Start creating your own CDs using a variety of music creation software on the market, and seek to promote them at local businesses that may sponser rap music.\n3) Try out for the next American Idol.\n4) Compete in a variety of talent competions to get experience on stage.

First things first...simply agree to be in a band, and practice together until you feel you are good enough to record a CD! The, when you are, see if there are any local recording studios in your area (often colleges and universities will have them..) and hire one out for a period of time to lay down a CD! Then, get copies of this CD, and send it out to as many record companiies as poss.

tell them its like metal but the riffs instead of being chaotic have more melody to it. so like melodic metal (make sure they understand you mean metal not hardcore or screamo cuz thats wat mainstream metal is now a days)

Start taking pictures of bands.\n\nFind some local bands, contact them and take some free pictures.  Let them know you're trying to do it professionally and to spread the word.  Local bands are always looking for people to help them get images for websites, flyers, EP covers, and to satisfy their own vanity.

ask friends if they can sing or play musical instrument. then talk bands, place to meet & practice, take it from there

you don't need to know how to sing or play instruments for punk rock.  Just get a drum kit, a crappy epiphone guitar and a short crappy bass and learn three chords.  Then scream.  Now you have punk rock!

I also agree. keep writing. You'll get the hang of it. I started when I was around that age, now I'm a full fledge producer, making hits with mad people. \n\n_______________________________________________________\n\nStudio Engineer/Producer from Dallas, Texas Check out our recording label Mindset Entertainment.

1.) get a budget\n2.) write down all of your ideas\n3.) get legal documents\n4.) get bands, groups of different genres (I hope)\n5.) Set time limits and time slots\n6.) have different stages set up all over\n7.) have hosts for each stage\n8.) good food and drinks\n etc. there is so much more, alot of work. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Coming from someone who is in a rock band:\nGet a job! lol The easiest solution to your problem. To get a successful band going you are going to need a lot of money, and dedicated members who are willing to invest money into it as well. Just to give you an idea, my band just released our full length album this month, and it cost us over $5,000 to get it recorded and produced professionally. That doesn't include promoting and whatnot for our CD release show.\n\n Once you get something together email me at xxneonzombiexx@hotmail.com and I will show you how to get a cheap website that looks great!\n\nBrandon Zahn\n-(Guitar)-\nReflection\nwww.reflectionband.com
