Well I’m always looking for new ways to get my songs out there, and I’ve stumbled upon something quite revolutionary for songwriters. It’s not easy getting your music heard by publishers, etc… but one way that might help is by using MUSIC X RAY. I’m very impressed with this new system. You can check them out here: www.musicxray.net
It basically gives artists a way of showcasing their songs in a specific way that appeals to music industry professionals, and the site boasts that their network sets the right people up together, kind of like eharmony I suppose. They match your song’s style to the right opportunities…how brilliant, it’s all free, except that every time you want to send you song directly to a label, publisher etc…it may cost 3.00 as an example. It’s a small price to pay, but I’m thinking they should make it smaller, say 99 cents :) like itunes songs ;)
But it sure beats putting together a million presskits that cost a lot more! Plus, once you open the door with a company, that’s it. Who knows, maybe down the road , you get a publishing or record deal, it only took 3 bucks. not too shabby.
Worth trying out I say, and just for fun, I’ve uploaded an example to my blog here on the right so you can see it. I hope you enjoy the song, and Keep writing!

You should add a link to iTunes in the song info module.
Cheers,
