Music Xray provides a series of tools to industry professionals to help them identify high potential songs and acts. Each tool works a bit differently and highlights different types of success potential. Today, we thought we’d tell you about one of them… Collective A&R Statistics You probably didn’t know that every time an industry professional [...]
What if you could be a fly on the wall in an A&R office? What if you could be a fly on the wall in hundreds of A&R offices and hear which songs repeatedly get passed over after a few bars or see which songs tend to grab the attention of music professionals? That’d be [...]
There are those who disagree, but I think Spotify has a real shot at winning the music game in both the US and Europe – if not beyond. It makes almost all the music in the world available to you on-demand, 24×7. That’s just going to beat any cloud service that requires you to pay [...]
In this episode we discuss how artists can avoid being out-competed in the new music business. Artists featured on this episode are Andrew Ryan, Mary Sarah, Amanda Blush, & Kotadama.
Many emerging artists are too young to remember the days when labels, publishers and the like would not even accept unsolicited material. In my day, you’d send your demo tape or CD to a label and most likely you’d never know if it even arrived, let alone get any acknowledgement that your music had been listened to.
Getting guaranteed feedback from top A&R executives, program directors, music supervisors and more is a watershed for musicians and song owners and I am proud that Music Xray is again the first to make something like this a reality.
Today, Music Xray has launched a focus group feature that enables anyone to conduct a focus group for their song(s). It provides a way for musicians and industry professionals to know immediately how the market will react to a song, which market demographic is most receptive to the song and if the song has serious hit potential.
You pay $200 and Kyra Larock will organize a 30 minute face to face meeting for you with an A&R representative of your choice from any of the following labels: Jive (Sony), Capitol (EMI) or Universal or Bad Boy. I mean, seriously, if you’re serious about your career and you think you have what it takes, why wouldn’t you leap at this opportunity?
