Q) What is
Songshooter?
A) Songshooter is a new way to
promote your music to an audience you might not
typically have the chance to be exposed to.
We have created a song of the day module that once
you are selected and put in rotation, you are the
only featured artist for an entire 24 hours.
We’re not talking online radio where you’re lucky
to get heard once every 8 hours. This is
direct exposure to the music loving
public.
Q) How does it
work?
A) You submit music on the
homepage http://www.songshooter.com at the top
right. After being submitted, your music
goes through a review by a panel of industry
professionals, AND plain old music aficionados
with great ears. Once everyone gives the
thumbs up, we let you know that you’ve been
chosen. We usually pick between 4 and 6
songs per artist to feature, so please submit
everything. The reason we choose so many is
because the site population typically comes every
3 to 4 days. With that many songs, you are
bound to hit everyone at least once or
twice. We then ask for some stories to go
with each song, and some inside stuff for Billy
Thin’s joint (blog). Billy is the online
“hostâ€ð if you will. If he knows you, he will
know what to write, but if not, he will need some
things to talk about, about you or your
band. That way, there is someone other than
you advocating for you on the site. This is
proving to be very powerful and a great way to
help you build fans. Your songs are then
placed into a random rotation with 3 other
artists. When you come up, you have the
attention of the entire population for a whole
day.
Q) Why did you
create this?
A) I felt like this site would
be fun since it has a social networking aspect,
and a great new way to build fans for great music
that typically gets unnoticed out there. It
started out as a hobby, but is now quickly
developing into a full time
thing.
Q) What makes you
an authority on music?
A) Actually, nothing. No
one really is. I know what I like, and have
been producing records for over 20 years.
What i love is great songwriting. Even after
all the years in the music business, since
starting this site, I am surprised just how much
is out there that goes
unheard.
Q) Who have been
your favorites on the site so
far?
A) Some of my favorites have
been (and in no particular order): Holly
Beth Vincent, Finding Fiction, Libby Johnson, Free
Range Overground, Big Moves, Mark Stuart and the
Bastard Sons, Jones Street Station, these United
states, and so many more that it’s impossible to
name them all. We love great music, great
songs, and great artists. If you’re one,
please come to the site and get involved. It
will be good for you and us, and for the music
industry in general.
