Hey, I checked out your myspace site!. Your music sounds pretty good dude, very original!. A better recording job would help, but musicality-wise it sounds great!.

I think making it big largely has to do with luck!.!.!. You need to be in the right place at the right time for an agent to walk by and notice you, and you've got to be good enough for him to take notice in you!.
And the best way to increase those chances of being noticed are to PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE!. Your myspace page is a great start!. Now start advertising all over, send personal comments to your myspace fans about shows, new songs, etc!.

Play as many shows as you can!. Nothing impresses the listeners like a good live show!. Get people talking about you!. Spread your music as far out as you can!.

DARK 713 IS CORRECT
you will need far better recordings the best you can!.
The competition out there is far far greater than you imagine!.
There are artists out there with fully recorded ready to release work and not doing much!.
The company people want and get FULL proper recordings to hear with all the trimmings on top, it seems they dont have the mind to imagine what a poor musician could do in a proper studio with a good producer!.
Radio stations and DJs are a help!.
also luck, as it seems talent alone is no longer enough!.
You have picked the hardest proffession a rock star!.
You will need heart, and a way inside that inner circle of musical people to open a few doors for you,,,,from the inside,,,,
good luck to you, as i take my hat off to anybody who gets on any stage,,,,,Www@QuestionHome@Com
