Question by travoltaisking: How do you get signed to a record contract?
How do you get a record contract in the music industry? As a musician, its very difficult. I have been playing out for years and am about to release a new album. I dont “know” anyone in the music business, so any suggestions would be great! Thanks again for the reply and time.

Send a Demo tape, with your phone number-and If they like it-they will call you.
For best results-send to a lot of record companies.
