Question Posted Monday June 22 2009, 6:09 pm

hey so sorry if this is long, but my best friend is working on making a cd and hes a really great singer/songwriter/rapper. he's made demos of his songs using computer software and such, but he's trying to really get discovered. so, first of all does anyone know how you make a deal with itunes to put and sell your songs on itunes?
secondd, when he writes his songs he uses intstrumentals from artists such as lil wayne, young jeezy, ne-yo, and others. if he wants to be put on itunes and get discovered, does he have to create his own instrumentals because of copyright?
thanks SO much!!!

iTunes usually works best if your are affiliated with a record label.

As was suggested before, try Youtube, Myspace, and similar websites like PureVolume.

And sampling other artists you can get away with if you are not making money. If you sell merch or charge for your tracks, you need to use your own instrumentals.

Good luck!

1. YouTube!

- I'm not even joking. Record him playing some covers and post them. Then, post them on your Facebook and in Myspace bulletins, etc.


2. Make a Myspace music page.

- Record some covers/originals and put them up on Myspace. Make sure to post that Myspace on his YouTube account, too.


I have no idea how to go about getting his songs on iTunes, though. Sorry...try Google?
