60+ Song Submit Musicians have been selected!

The more music you have selected, the more you get forwarded to key players in the music industry!

Song Submit's music industry network now includes contacts to Def Jam Records, Capital Records, Universal Records, Columbia Records, Island Records, Warner Bros. Records, Sony Music, plus Film/TV contacts to music supervisors for ANTM (America's Next Top Model), MTV Networks, VH1, Comedy Central, BBC, Virgin, NYC Prep, Beauty and the Geek, and Stager Invasion.

Song Submit - Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is Song Submit?

Song Submit is a music-forwarding service connecting music producers with Record Label A&R, Music Management, and Music Production Teams on a solicited level. When your music is selected, it is forwarded directly to Record Label A&R and Music Executives where it is guaranteed to be reviewed & considered for placement. Per campaign, initial song uploads cost $10, all subsequent song uploads cost $5.
2) Why use Song Submit?

For the cost you'd spend mailing your music to Record Labels without permission or promise of review, Song Submit guarantees your music gets reviewed and, if selected, gets forwarded as solicited. ModernBeats holds direct relationships with Label A&R and Music Executives throughout the industry who respect the quality of music received from the Song Submit service. Song Submit offers music producers an excellent way to connect with music industry leaders and get their music discovered. Plus, Song Submit is virtually FREE!
3) How is Song Submit virtually FREE?

For every campaign you enter, you will receive a $20 OFF coupon at the end of that campaign. For example, your cost for uploading 3 songs to a campaign would be $20 ($10 for the 1st song upload, plus $5 for the 2nd upload, and $5 for the 3rd upload). Your costs are recouped at the end of each campaign when you are issued the $20 OFF coupon. The coupon can be applied to any ModernBeats sound, loop, music contracts, or hit report products.
4) How can I use the $20 coupon I get after each campaign?

For every campaign you enter, you will receive a $20 OFF coupon at the end of that campaign. The coupon can be applied to any soundsets, loopsets, music contracts, or hit report products found on ModernBeats.com, MPCsounds.com, BuyaBeat.com, and Hit Talk (www.modernbeats.com/hit-talk).
5) How long will it take to get my music reviewed?

When you first upload to a campaign, your music's initial status is "Review Pending". By the time the campaign's closing date is reached, all your music will be reviewed and statuses updated within 48 hours. In addition to logging into your account 24/7 to see your music's latest status, you'll also be contacted by email within 48 hours of a campaign closing, showing you each song's final status.
6) Is selected music guaranteed to be forwarded as solicited material?

Yes, ModernBeats has established relationships and agreements set in place with all clients (Label A&R, Artist Management, etc.) prior to a campaign's launch whereby all clients have committed to guaranteed receipt and review of all music forwarded.
7) Will my music be heard by Record Label A&R?

Yes, if your music is selected in a Record Label related campaign, it is guaranteed to be reviewed and listened to by the receiving Record Label's A&R Department as per agreement between ModernBeats and the destination Record Label.
8) Will my music be heard by Artist Management?

Yes, if your music is selected in a Artist Management related campaign, it is guaranteed to be reviewed and listened to by the receiving Music Manager as per agreement between ModernBeats and the destination Artist Management company.
9) Will I receive legal representation if a Label wants to use my music?

Yes, specific Song Submit campaigns provide you with legal representation by a Hollywood Entertainment Law Firm when a Record Label wants to sign your music.

10) Can I submit the same music to multiple Song Submit campaigns?

Yes, you can submit the same music to as many Song Submit campaigns as you desire. Your exposure is increased when submitting relevant music to multiple campaigns seeking the same genre of music. Song Submit clients review selected music only from within their own campaigns. Submitting your music to multiple campaigns ensures your selected music is reviewed multiple times by multiple clients, not just once per campaign.

To increase the likelihood your music is reviewed by each client, you need to participate in those campaigns directly. The premise is if you believe your song is relevant to a specific Song Submit campaign, then upload to that campaign. While it's true selected music from past campaigns can get re-forwarded, it is only if the music is relevant and if the client could not meet objectives or find targeted music from the direct campaign it ran.

Song Submit's music industry network includes contacts to Def Jam Records, Capital Records, Universal Records, Columbia Records, Island Records, Warner Bros. Records, Sony Music, plus Film/TV contacts to music supervisors for America's Next Top Model, MTV Networks, VH1, Comedy Central, BBC, Virgin, NYC Prep, Beauty and the Geek, and Stager Invasion. Song Submit's network of contacts is constantly growing. Submitting relevant music to multiple campaigns increases your exposure.

11) Is it necessary to submit the same music to multiple campaigns?

While it is not necessary, submitting your music to multiple campaigns ensures your selected music is reviewed multiple times by multiple clients, not just once per campaign. Song Submit clients review selected music only from within their own campaigns. To increase the likelihood your music is reviewed by each client, you need to participate in those campaigns directly.

The premise is if you believe your song is relevant to a specific Song Submit campaign, then upload to that campaign. While it's true selected music from past campaigns can get re-forwarded, it is only if the music is relevant and if the client could not meet objectives or find targeted music from the direct campaign it ran.

12) Will my music be forwarded repeatedly to multiple music executives?

Yes, if your music is selected in a Song Submit campaign, not only will it be directly reviewed and considered by music executives from that initial campaign, but we will also re-forward your music to our additional A&R, Film/TV, and Music Publishing contacts outside the initial campaign when applicable. The bottom line is the more music you have selected across multiple campaigns, the more your music gets forwarded to key players in the music industry.

While we do re-forward selected music to our existing clients outside of the initial campaign where the music was originally selected, music is re-forwarded on an ask-basis. For example, if a client runs a campaign on Song Submit and does not find the music they need, then at that time Song Submit will suggest for the client to review selected music from past Song Submit campaigns in effort to help the client find the music they need.

To increase the likelihood your music is reviewed by each client, you need to participate in those campaigns directly. The premise is if you believe your song is relevant to a specific Song Submit campaign, then upload to that campaign.

Song Submit's network of contacts is constantly growing.

13) What's the difference between being selected & receiving placement?

When your song is selected, it has been selected to be forwarded. Being selected doesn't guarantee placement. Receiving placement is when your song has been licensed or signed & will appear on an album or broadcast. Probabilities of receiving placement are determined by Label A&R & Music Executives once your music has been forwarded. Regardless of placement, connecting with executives is key.
14) Is connecting with Label A&R as valuable as having my song placed?

Yes, the music industry is all about networking and building relationships. Song Submit enables music producers to connect with Label A&R, Artist Management, & Music Production Teams regardless if your song ends up in placement. Building name recognition with music executives is essential for one's music career. Song Submit gets music producers's names and music into the hands of major industry players to help build crucial recognition & connections.
15) What is Song Submit's Refund Policy?

Song Submit has a no refund policy. Once you have purchased an upload, no refunds will be granted. You are purchasing a service to have your music reviewed for possible selection and forwarding. Violation of Song Submit's refund policy will result in a permanent ban from all Song Submit campaigns. No exceptions allowed.
16) How can I contact Song Submit?

You may contact Song Submit via email at song-submit [a|t] modernbeats [d|o|t] com if you have a problem with your song uploads or order. Note: Do not contact Song Submit regarding your song status or why your song was issued a certain status. All song status questions are answered and addressed within your Musician Account under the "Song Status Explanations" section.
