PITCH YOUR SONG TO AN INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL
Online Pitch Events for members, each month you will have the opportunity to register for a Pitch Session to have your song heard by an industry representative such as a publisher, manager, or creative. This is a great platform to get your name out there and possibly get the attention of someone in the industry! In each Pitch Session, the industry guest will listen to the first verse/chorus of each member’s song and then choose to “pass,” which means the song may not be the right fit for their current interests, or “take a copy,” which mean they would like a copy to potentially listen to again.
