Is music management and merchandising a good major?

How can i get my music (beats) heard by top artists and management?

• I'm a music producer (pop, hip hop, r&B) and i've been told my music is pretty good. I would like to submit my beats to established talent. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can do this. Is there a list of management companies online somewhere?

• Answer:

  Start out local and work your way up. Most management/aritsts may want to listen to your beats with reference vocals or hooks on them to hear their "hit potential". Unfinished products being submitted most likely won't get heard. Make sure that your Myspace/SoundClick/Youtube are getting heavy traffic, this way they can see that you are on demand. Create a press-kit for yourself and once you get some solid songs down, try getting local some airplay. If your artist gets heard, you get heard. If your artist gets a deal, you get a deal. It's also about who you know... so start networking! Most companies do not accept unsolicited material. There are lots of aspiring producers out there and only few make the cut....remember that they only care about making hit songs. So make sure your beats are nothing short of perfection.
