daniel, i respectfully suggest that you are in a cloud, mentally, to envision the recording industry to work that way. as in any other profession, you must "pay your dues," so to speak. in an interview, singer/song writer, willie nelson said it took him 20 years to become "an overnight success!" the real over-nighters are scarce as hen's teeth. true, there are a rare few "instant stars" but, by far, the vast majority worked their tail feathers off over many years to "make it big." the recording companies have an endless supply of talent to choose from. why should they bother with you? answer that honestly. my suggestion: get out and play a few thousand gigs, get your name and music known then, wallah, overnight success! i certainly don't want to discourage you, just being logical. now go out and prove me wrong. remember to share your success formula with us "dues payers" on this forum.
