The prospects of a new career always produce a certain urge that makes one want to do everything at an ago. While this fire is good to get one started, it can also be a surefire road to failure. Starting up a project requires a sense of keenness and the art of thinking twice or at least evaluating the usefulness of the resources at your disposal before you get started. It is easy to find yourself working with the wrong people who know nothing about your career but are interested in one thing only- self-advancement.

The music industry is similar to many other corporations. There are those who bathe in their own sweat as they try to learn the tidbits of music production and marketing, and there are the lazybones- those who use sweet words to get an artist to sign up a contract with them yet they know absolutely nothing about music production apart from signing a recording agreement.

When you are on the hunt for recording experts, make sure to go for the common names or the legitimate ones. Let’s go through the following steps that a musician can use to get a recording contract with real experts.

1. Single Out Your Most Preferred Recording Label

As said before, the recording label you choose will decide how far your music will spread. A fledgling musician can find it hard to swim through the turbulent celebrity waters and get his /her songs listened to. It takes the hand of an established recording label to showcase your works to the public. However, many musicians get it wrong when selecting recording labels and end up being screwed. You should choose a company that leaves you with some level of freedom and control over your work.

2. Pick Those Who Take A Chance On You

Many indie labels are known to give newbies a chance to prove themselves worthy of their support. So, if you land on record (actually) labels accepting demos, you should take that opportunity and hand your samples over to them to help you reach your greatest levels. The bigger corporations are more interested in making money to sustain themselves and will rarely give you a chance unless of course, you have a powerful being ( maybe an established musician) to connect you to them.

3. Promote Your Music Through THESE Services

Finding an organic music promotion service is hard these days for artists. With so many services claiming to be legit, it's difficult to tell which ones you can trust.

That's why we've taken the liberty of compiling a list of services we recommend and have used in the past. If you want to be like every other artist (who never does anything with their career), you can not try to promote everything for free. Business doesn't work like that, neither does your music career.


When your song is ready to go, it's time to start promoting it to potential fans! Omari has the best organic promotion services money can buy.

      Looking for someone to throw some $ my way before the year ends/begins.. I go by Lil Juggalo, you can find me on the Trademark Data base on the same list as Lil Nas X and also Lil Peep.

KID TRAVIS (R&B, POP)

With an already buzzing YouTube audience of over 400K+ subscribers, Kid Travis wanted his Instagram profile to start gaining some of that same traction.

While you can get some spill over audience from YouTube, Kid Travis knew that Instagram ad campaigns could boost his presence on IG even further!

He discovered that trying to run Instagram ads yourself vs. having us add our years of experience and expertise to them made a huge difference!

His main goal was to achieve new followers who are seriously interested in his journey as an artist.

Kid Travis already had amazing talent but needed to combine his music genius with some marketing expertise to get the best of both worlds.

We were able to bring out the heart of his music through paid ads by editing & optimizing his existing videos and properly researching and structuring his ad campaigns.

The end results: We were able to consistently and predictably gain followers averaging between $0.25-$0.35 per follower (including a bulk of the promotion being done in high cost English speaking countries such as United States, United Kingdom, Australia, & Canada) resulting in around 4,000 new, engaged followers/month on Instagram.
