Consider reaching out to music producers or studios directly.


Don't even think that.

Industry pros do not accept unsolicited material — ever. It makes them liable to nuisance suits and the only defense is to never, ever accept unsolicited material.

Networking, showcases, more networking, songwriter organizations, even more networking through your PRO, industry showcase open mics, networking, the Bluebird Cafe… If an industry pro can hear about you or be exposed at an industry event or a showcase open mic, you might be asked to email links to your SoundCloud account.

Now your material is solicited and you may follow up.
