Help- I'm wanting to become a recording artist- I sing, write and play piano- where do I start?
I've been singing ever since I was about 5 years old. I've wanted to try out for American Idol, but I'm afraid of taking time off of college (in case I end up being unsuccessful in music, I will have a backup plan). I'd love to be a recording artist- I play piano, write my own lyrics, and sing. I've had private lessons, have been in various choirs over my lifetime, and love a wide variety of genres. I especially love industrial/hard-rock/ goth-rock music- Evanescence or Lacuna Coil would be my ideal scene. I have no clue where to look for a record label or anything of the sort...sites online claim they'll send my demo to the 'big guys', if I pay them, and I don't want to be scammed...does anyone have any clue where these people like Amy Lee and Cristina Scabbia got their way to fame, so I can follow a similar path? Or, just in sum of all this- how do I get a hold of a recording studio or submit a demo to be reviewed/published by a company?
Best thing to do is record yourself playing the piano while singing your own songs. Record yourself doing a broad range of genres rather than just what you would like to do. Since you can play, sing and write, it may make things easier for you since your songs may be accepted even if you're not.
Then find yourself a good agent that you can meet in person, talk with and see how they would be able to distribute your material to others.
Most record labels won't take stuff you submit to them, it needs to be done properly. Wind Up (Who Evanesence are with) are like this and will destroy your material.
Your best options in this regards is to find out the record labels of groups you like and check that record label's website on their submission policy.
Check the source as it will give you an example of what to expect if you send in unsolicated material. This is the website for Evanesences label but you can expect the same thing from others but it depends really. Lacuna Coil's label (Century Media) allow you to just post things into them so it's important you check out label websites for their policies.
