Hello! On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Barry Bergman and today I am going to give you tips on how to get a record deal. It is not important that you deliver a demo and submit it right away to get a record deal. What is even more important is to build as following and if you build the following and create new fans that come out to see you, you will find in time that the labels will find you. Managers will find you and labels will find you. it's funny how success breeds more success. It is more important to give people a reason to want to be in business with you than just to run around and shop something that may or may not be exciting to somebody because there isn't much going around with it surrounding it at any given time. So I think that you start off small locally and you try to take it more regionally and after it is perking up a little, you will see how the word gets out and it's funny we live in an age today where news spreads rapidly.
