gee thanks! I can always imagine/hear my songs being played on the radio or in a stadium (but I'm very biased, obviously) It means A LOT to have other people like and support my music as well. I wanted to add some steel guitar to this track, maybe one day if I ever revamp it. As for sending to a label, I have no strong connections to anyone who could get it in the right hands. I have thought about becoming a member of a music licensing company, thought that may help get it out there. Most of my songs are so personal to me, it's hard to imagine someone else singing them.. BUT if the right opportunity came around, I would pass it on.
The music industry is probably one of the hardest to break into - especially when you are a tiny, independent blip on the radar such as myself :)
I don't know if competitions are your thing? I really need to finish some of my songs off to send them in! There's loads if you Google "Nashville songwriting competition", (just research for the best ones )and the JohnLennon (jlsc.com) one, which had a U.S winner "Alcoholoday". I think their usually about $10 dollars for a submission per song. With cash prizes, recognition and possible contracts! Also Taxi.com might be worth checking out. Good luck!
I’ve submitted music to a few online competitions in the past, also tried a lot of live auditions. Haven’t gotten a bite from anything like that.
About taxi, I’ve been on the fence about joining- debating over a year now lol, I should just try it, though the memership fee is a bit steep for me at the moment.... however, I suppose I could use some of my earned Steem rewards to pay for that!
Shame about no response from the competitions. I'd keep trying (There's some good legit free ones out there too). I read in some songwriting book that a famous country star made about 40 submissions all rejected till someone found it and it was a hit.
Yeah Taxi does cost a bit. I like how they give you critique and feedback on all the songs. I may give it a go too if/when I can afford it!
