I just wrote Prince a song.....

Hey everybody what's up,When I first wrote the song I had Prince in mind, that's what I do when I write all my song I have Prince in mind, but something about this just said it's Prince all the way and he should sing, I don't know if he would though. I just wrote Prince a song called Sensually
The chords are slow and jazzy, I thinking about sending it 2 him but didn't know exactly how 2 go about it, so I was wondering ... Does anybody know anything about sending demo tapes 2 pacfics artist...

I guess you could do just that.

Begin laying out your website and the content and shop the link around.

Need any advice, just shoot me an org note.

There's lots and lots of people who write music for other people. Go check out sites like taxi.com - it costs A LOT ($250 a year or something like that) but they get your songs into the right hands, etc.

You can't just send songs unsolicited to artists - they will return them unopened, or risk a copyright infringement lawsuit. You need to contact somebody who will agree to listen to your song - whether it's somebody at NPGMC, WB, or whatever.

Good luck. Go check out some books on the subject - also there's TONS of sites about it.

The last time I went 2 a Celebration he had a special space where people could drop off CD'z Video'z and Cassettez of their music. He may R may not have 1 this year I don't know.

I got that N4mation on the NPG website about a week B4 the Celebration That Year that he waz allowing people 2 submit music.

Also az far az U writing 4 other artists, Go 2 Ure local library. N ask 4 a book called the songwriters market. They put 1 out each year. This book iz filled with Record labels, Management, Studioz, Producers, Publishing Companies, Promoters, and so on.

What U need 2 do is target publishing companies, (F U want 2 write 4 other artistz. Publishing companies buy Ure songz from U, N sell them 2 record labelz N producerz.

That iz how some writers get their foot N the industry door.

(MAKE ABSOLUTE SURE U DO URE RESEARCH ON ROYALTIES) So U don't get cheated on the value of Ure songz.

Go 2 www.mp3.com/thumpinhard 2 listen 2 some of my music. N e-mail me at Thumpinhard@cox.net if U have N E other Questions.
