Before You Submit Music to Our Record Label: Professional Guidelines for Artists

Submitting your music to a record label is an important milestone in your journey as an artist. To make the best impression, it’s essential to understand how to prepare your track and present yourself professionally. These tips will help ensure your music submission is clear, organized, and ready for review.


1. Ensure Your Music Is Ready

Submit only your best work. Make sure your track is fully produced, well-mixed, and mastered to a high-quality standard. Compare your music to similar professional releases to check for clarity, balance, and overall sound quality.

2. We Accept All Genres – But Not AI-Generated

We welcome music across all genres and value creativity. However, we do not accept tracks that use AI-generated: fully AI-generated content. We prioritize authentic, original artistic expression from real creators.

3. Research and Understand Our Label

Every label has its own identity and sound. Take time to listen to our existing releases to get a sense of what we support. While we appreciate unique ideas, sending music that aligns with our general direction increases your chances of being noticed.

4. Present Yourself Professionally When sending your music, include:
  • Your legal name and artist name
  • A short biography
  • Links to your social media or website
  • A private streaming link (SoundCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive)
5. Plan Your Release Timeline

Do not plan to release your track immediately after submission. Instead, aim for a release at least a month out and begin the submission process the month before. This gives our team enough time to support you with promotion and other steps for a successful launch.

7. Be Patient and Open to Feedback

We listen to all demos from Queue that are submitted to us, but please respect that we might take time to respond, due to many artists sending demos to us. However, If we like it we will get in touch with you. If you receive feedback instead of an immediate offer, take it as an opportunity to grow. Many artists succeed by building relationships and refining their craft over time.

8. Common Mistakes to Avoid
  • Sending unfinished or poorly mixed tracks
  • A short biography
  • Submitting through mass emails or attachments instead of private streaming links
  • Rushing release schedules without lead time for planning
  • Neglecting copyright protection for your work
  • Using AI-generated content (not accepted)
  • Using Free beats, copyrighted samples content (not accepted)
Conclusion:

Submitting music professionally and thoughtfully increases your chances of success. By preparing your track properly, aligning with our label’s style, planning ahead, and avoiding common mistakes, you present yourself as an artist ready to work at a professional level.
