Song pitching is the process of presenting your songs to music industry professionals in a way that makes them want to listen to them and, hopefully, sign you to a deal. It's not an easy process, but it's essential if you want to get your music career off the ground.

In this article, we'll cover everything you need to know about pitching your songs directly to music industry pros. We'll start by discussing the different types of music industry professionals you should target, and then we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to pitch your songs to them.

Who to Target

The first step in pitching your songs is to identify the right people to target. Not all music industry professionals are created equal, and it's important to know who is most likely to be interested in your music.

Here are some of the most common types of music industry professionals you should target:

  • Record labels: Record labels are companies that sign artists to contracts and release their music. They are always looking for new talent, so if you have a great song, don't hesitate to pitch it to a record label.
  • Music publishers: Music publishers are companies that own the rights to songs and lease them to artists for use in recordings, films, and other media. They are also always looking for new songs, so if you have a great song, don't hesitate to pitch it to a music publisher.
  • Music supervisors: Music supervisors are responsible for selecting the music used in films and television shows. They are always looking for new songs that will fit the mood and tone of their projects, so if you have a great song that you think would be perfect for a film or television show, don't hesitate to pitch it to a music supervisor.
  • Radio programmers: Radio programmers are responsible for selecting the music that is played on radio stations. They are always looking for new songs that will appeal to their listeners, so if you have a great song that you think would be perfect for radio, don't hesitate to pitch it to a radio programmer.

How to Pitch Your Songs

Once you have identified the right people to target, it's time to start pitching your songs. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Write a great song. This is the most important step of all. If you don't have a great song, no one is going to want to listen to it. Make sure your song is well-written, catchy, and unique.
  2. Create a great demo. Your demo is the recording of your song that you will send to music industry professionals. Make sure your demo is high-quality and represents your song in the best possible light.
  3. Write a compelling pitch letter. Your pitch letter is the cover letter that you will send to music industry professionals along with your demo. Make sure your pitch letter is well-written, concise, and attention-grabbing.
  4. Send your pitch package. Your pitch package should include your demo, your pitch letter, and any other materials that you think will help you get noticed. Make sure your pitch package is professional and well-presented.
  5. Follow up. Once you have sent your pitch package, don't just sit back and wait for the phone to ring. Follow up with music industry professionals regularly to remind them of your song and to see if they are interested in signing you to a deal.

Tips for Success

Here are a few tips to help you increase your chances of success when pitching your songs:

  • Be professional. When you are pitching your songs, it's important to be professional at all times. This means dressing appropriately, being on time for your appointments, and being polite and respectful to everyone you meet.
  • Be persistent. Don't give up if you don't get signed to a deal right away. Keep pitching your songs and eventually you will find success.
  • Be confident. Believe in your songs and believe in yourself. If you don't believe in your songs, no one else will.
  • Network. Get to know people in the music industry. Attend industry events, join online forums, and connect with people on social media. The more people you know, the more likely you are to find someone who is interested in your music.

Pitching your songs directly to music industry pros can be a daunting task, but it's also an essential one if you want to get your music career off the ground. By following the advice in this article, you can increase your chances of success and get your songs heard by the people who matter most.
