10) Will I receive legal representation if a Label wants to use my music?

Yes, specific Song Submit campaigns provide you with legal representation by a Hollywood Entertainment Law Firm when a Record Label wants to sign your music.

11) How many beats/songs can I submit to a single campaign?

As long as your music is relevant in style to a given campaign, there is no limit to the number of songs you can submit. To maximize the likelihood at connecting, signing, and receiving placement for your music, multi-song submissions per campaign is recommended. However, please submit only your very best music.

The more music you have selected within your Song Submit account, the more your music will be directly considered by Song Submit music executives at present and in the future.

12) What is the best number of beats/songs to submit to a campaign?

Submitting 5 songs versus 1 obviously increases your exposure and thus, the likelihood your music will be selected & forwarded. The optimal number of songs to submit per campaign is subjective, and depends on how confident you are in the quality of your music.

13) Can I submit the same music to multiple Song Submit campaigns?

Yes. To maximize exposure of your music and increase the likelihood at connecting, signing, and receiving placement, same-music multi-campaign participation is recommended. We encourage musicians to submit the same music to all Song Submit campaigns that are relevant and applicable in style. Your exposure is increased when submitting relevant music to multiple campaigns versus only 1 or 2 campaigns. Submitting your music to multiple campaigns ensures your selected music is reviewed multiple times by multiple clients, not just by one client once per campaign.

The premise is if your music is relevant to a specific Song Submit campaign, then upload to that campaign. The more music you have selected within your Song Submit account, the more your music will be directly considered by Song Submit music executives at present and in the future.

14) Is it necessary to submit the same music to multiple campaigns?

To maximize your music's exposure, same-music multi-campaign participation is recommended. While not necessary, submitting the same music across multiple campaigns greatly increases the likelihood of that music getting signed and placed. Having your music reviewed multiple times over by multiple clients will only enhance your chances at connecting, signing, and receiving placement.

The premise is if your music is relevant to a specific Song Submit campaign, then upload to that campaign. The more music you have selected within your Song Submit account, the more your music will be directly considered by Song Submit music executives at present and in the future.

15) What's the difference between being selected & receiving placement?

When your song is selected, it has been selected to be forwarded. Being selected doesn't guarantee placement. Receiving placement is when your song has been licensed or signed & will appear on an album or broadcast. Probabilities of receiving placement are determined by Label A&R & Music Executives once your music has been forwarded. Regardless of placement, connecting with executives is key as this lays the foundation for building long-term music business relationships.

16) Is connecting w/ Music Execs as valuable as having my song placed?

Yes, the music industry is all about networking and building relationships. Song Submit enables music producers to connect with Record Label A&R, Film/TV Music Supervisors, and Music Executives regardless if your song ends up in placement. Building name recognition with music executives is essential for one's music career. Song Submit gets music producers's names and music into the hands of major industry players to help build crucial recognition & connections.

17) What is Song Submit's Refund Policy?

Song Submit has a no refund policy. Once you have purchased an upload, no refunds will be granted. You are purchasing a service to have your music reviewed for possible selection and forwarding. Violation of Song Submit's refund policy will result in a permanent ban from all Song Submit campaigns. No exceptions allowed.
