I appreciate your taking time to respond, but the question wasn’t do you have any advice for me. I have a degree in Entertainment Management. I know how the business works. The question was do you have a recording contract to offer. Since you’re a drummer, I’ll leave you with a drummer joke. Do you know the last thing you hear from a band that’s about to break up? It’s the drummer saying.. Hey guys.. I have a few songs I’ve written. Best of luck in your music career. Peace.

You dont wait for them to come to you.
You pursue them first aggressively with your “demo packages”. You find their “A & R dept addresses” and mail your demos out to them. It’s all a numbers game. The more demos you send out, the more you’ll get noticed. Persistence is the key to success. You must fail and be rejected a million times first before ever reaching the stellar heights of superstardom.
Be patient, it takes time to get discovered. Luke Skywalker did not become a great Jedi overnight. His greatnness did not come overnight. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda had train puny, whiny butt into shape in order so he could destory the twin masters of evil… Darth Vader and the wicked Emperor.
