Submitting Music to Record Labels: Prepare a Relevant Demo
Illustration: WBBT Records.
Labels evaluate music in the context of their catalogue, capacity and commercial plans. A professional submission improves clarity but does not guarantee a response or deal.
Put it into practice
Research the label's current submission rules and recent releases. Send a concise introduction, private stream and accurate contact information rather than large unsolicited files.
Turn the plan into a written agreement
Document the scope, costs, responsibilities and review dates before money or rights change hands. Keep a realistic allowance for delays and administration. For WBBT business services, White-Label and Distributor API access are in early access: sales confirms the available scope, capacity and commercial terms for your use case.
Your next step
Research the label's current submission rules and recent releases. Keep a short record of the decision and revisit it after your next completed project.
