We live in the American (UK version also) Idol age, where folks think that they will get discovered by showing up. Heck most of those kids on those shows, have been groomed from an early age to perform, and have sang live in county fairs, talent shows, and open mike nights since they were babies. Others work in local bands and struggle to get heard.

Daniel, have you ever gone to a local night club or restaurant and listened to a local singer or band, and they play covers, and suddenly announce that they are going to do an original tune, and no one seems to care. This is because people want to hear memories. The want the music to take them somewhere in the past. For that reason to get people to listen to your material they have to become familiar with it. That take time and effort to build up a following.

If all you want to do is sit at home and record songs and expect folks to flock to hear it on the internet, or for music execs to do backflips to listen to a demo, you are being a tad silly. There are literally hundreds , no thousands of people on the internet alone, on sites like soundclick, reverbnation, sound cloud, and about 100 other places promoting their music.

Daniel, I am not trying to crush your dream, but if this is what you want, you have to care more than others do. You have to put in the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to rise above literally thousands of others, who are singing in every venue they can, and getting exposure. Get an account at some place like soundclick, and add a couple songs, promote the heck out of them and see what feedback you get. Make sure you copyright, your stuff first in some meaningfull way.
