Question by scalon05: I am a performer. I record my own music. How do I get discovered? How do I get a recording contract?
I am a singer and an actor. Does anyone know how one would go about getting your voice heard and discovered by someone who could get me a recording contract if I appear to be good to them? I have been interested in music for a long time and I’m hoping that one day I will get discovered. Everyone in my town complains to me about how come I don’t go on american idol. I tell them first I’m too old and second, I don’t want to compete. I just want to do my own natural thing. I want to use the voice that was given to me to perform, not compete. I’m a 31 year old male and I’m as simple as they come. I love life and I love music. Thanks in advance for any comments 🙂
