Tips on a Successful Radio Review Session

Shouts out to 95.7 Jamz in Birmingham, AL for this one...

• TIP 1; when coming to a review session, meeting or anything business related. It might be a good idea to NOT smell like weed or liquor. Save your free time activities for later on.
• TIP 2; Do you bring your homie's to job interviews? Do your homie's help you when you pee? The answer is NO. So, don't bring them to any radio station's review session, meeting or anything business related.
• TIP 3; If you have a meeting time booked with a station or anyone in general. Be prepared. Don't come for your meeting/review session and say "oh I left my cd in the car"; or say "I got more stuff for you to hear and you don't have it" and at least bring your cd with your current project just in case what you emailed doesn't work.
• TIP 4; If the person you or your producer put on the hook can't sing and you knew this before you presented your music; why are you acting surprise when no one will play it or tells u the truth.
• TIP 5; please do not submit music that is not mastered? Really how can anyone; any dj, any radio station, anyone... play a song that has the vocals buried by the beat or your sfx are louder than beat or lyrics.
• TIP 6; when is the last time you heard ANY radio station play un edited versions? (so stations do after Midnight) If your asked to submit clean edits. Do so.
• TIP 7; any radio station in the world... is a business... many interesting levels to the business; listening to music is a big part of it but not the only job duty. So, if you book a time to meet with the powers that be; be on time
• TIP 8; AND please stop coming to meetings with your project burnt to cd and you keep in your pocket with no cover! When you apply for job; is your resume in a fast food sack?
• TIP 9; if have been told your song is going to be added to station. Do not get your grandmother, aunties, baby mama's and cousins to request your song when it hasn't even gotten one spin yet.
• TIP 10; don't sit in the meeting and tell us your "about" to get signed to a major label? We know all the labels.. and honestly... we don't judge if you are signed or not. MUSIC IS MUSIC!
• TIP 11; we realize that not everyone can afford to have their own website. But, if you are an artist and don’t utilize the free social media sites to promote your work(s) you are wasting your time. Radio play is a small part of being successful.

Happy Recording and Interviewing!
