We
do not accept unsolicited material. Also, we are not in
the business of getting someone to love your music. We
have lots of clients whose works we consider first priority
so if you've got a CD that's "just perfect for a movie
soundtrack," get in line. This is a high rejection business.
Get tough, learn all you can. Read "All You Need To Know
About The Music Business" by Donald Passman and "This
Business Of Music" by Shemel and Krasilovsky. Keep your
day - job and don't give up.
If
you plan to record and commercially release a product
that contains a song you didn't write (example: if you
decide to put a cover of "Heartbreak Hotel" on your CD
and you plan to sell copies for profit) you must request
a mechanical license from the publisher. You must also
be prepared to pay the "full statutory mechanical rate"
for said song. January 1, 2002, the rate goes up to .08
per song. For more information, please visit the Harry
Fox Agency.
