If you’re a musician looking to get your music heard by professionals in the industry, submitting your work to music supervisors is an excellent way to start. But there’s more to it than just sending your music—you need to make sure that it reaches the right people at the right time. Here's how:

Prepare Your Music for Submission

Before you start submitting your work, make sure it’s ready for prime time. Be sure to add necessary credits and permissions, and format it into an appropriate audio file.

Here's four inappropriate formats to avoid:

1. Sending unsolicited music on CD or DVD in the mail
2. Bulk emailing a SoundCloud link with no prior contact
3. Unsolicited text messages with download links
4. Posting tracks to their private profiles on social media without permission

Find the Right Music Supervisor

Research who the appropriate supervisor(s) is/are for your project and make sure they're available. Take time to look through their website and portfolio so that you have a better idea of what kind of music they specialize in or currently have on their roster.

Reach Out to the Music Supervisor

Send a polite yet direct email outlining what you have to offer, why you think it fits their needs, and how you can be contacted in the future. Make sure to include links to your music/demo reel. When you've identified the right people, submit your tracks directly via Disco and keep track of who has listened to them. Finally, reach out individually to each contact with a polite yet direct email outlining what you have to offer, why you think it fits their needs, and how you can be contacted in the future.

Follow Up

When following up on a music submission, it is important to understand that not every contact will answer immediately. If you have not heard back from the contact within two weeks of submitting your work, it is appropriate to follow up with a polite and professional message. Make sure to include all relevant information such as the project title, track name, and contact’s name. Additionally, it is helpful to remind them of why you believe your music would be a good fit for their needs. Respect their time and don't send too many emails in a short amount of time - give them space to respond in their own time.
