Use your music demo as promotion

You should really have a demo of your music so that you can giveaway a free cd, dvd or mp3 to record labels, record producers or any new music contacts you make. It doens't have to be the best recording, just sound clear and good quality.

The best thing to do is to record a demo of at least 3 songs or clippings from say 3-5 songs you have written or for cover songs you’ve been singing. Or if you only have one song to use, just record that one song. You can even make the recording at home with a good sound card on your computer or cheaply at any recording studio. or you can even record a video at your next gig or show and use this as your demo.

Make a copy of your demo on a cd, keep your songs as mp3's on a small storage card, your phone or ipod, and use this to send to anyones phone or ipod.

Just one verse, or a chorus of a song can be good enough to show a music producer what you can do. If you are trying to get a gig, a demo recording of around 8 songs is better so that the artist or band booker can listen to what the set will sound like. Do a good photo of you or your band and keep it as a jpg, gif on your phone or ipod. Or use it as a cover for your demo cd.
