Could this be the reason your music isn't selling?

Are You Pitching Your Music with No results?

I've been buying, selling, signing music in multiple genres for more than 20 years.  Want to hear what we say behind closed doors and the many reasons we reject music?  Sometimes it's its a simple fix and sometimes its a complicated task but the more you hear from decision makers the better equipped you'll be to get selected.  I can't cover it all in a short blog but I can certainly break it down for you in several short reads. Here is a list of common reasons in no specific order:

Not Broadcast Quality-(Mix & Mastering Issues)
Poor Song Structure - (Intro too long, needs a bridge, cant decipher verse from chorus)
Not Enough Dynamics (no forward motion, instrumentation does not support vocals)
Not Registered with a Performing Rights Organization (nobody can get paid)
Annunciation (Misunderstood words disconnect audience)
Does not have master recordings on hand (delays a sync deal)
No knowledge of basic sync licensing (fear of being ripped off prevents the buy)
Over-produced (too much going, on the song is lost)
Pitchy-Vocals (too many apps and tools to be submitting a bad vocal, so we move on)
Cadence off  (instruments and vocals obviously out of sync)
Lyrics not Cohesive (audience cant relate and lose interest)
Word-stuffing (too many words in a measure, listener cant catch up)
Sounds too Mechanical, Predictable (loops,  repeating drums, same licks in verse and chorus)
Submission Etiquite (short, too the point, poor networking skills) 

I will go into detail on future blogs so you can select which issues you might be having and learn some corrective actions.  I also have a podcast coming in November 2020 "MusicBizGal", where you can actually submit music to me and I can do a brief live on air critique. I have been known to not only love some of the music you send me, put also license it, get a record deal, or manage an act or two. I work  in multiple genres from Americana, Punk Rock, EDM to Kids Music, Classical and World.
