Donnie, Your music may very well be top notch no matter how long you have been writing. I don't know. But remember this. Never trust anyone who contacts you unsolicited. In other words , if you know that you never sent them music than it is most likely a shark who is contacting you. Unless they can specifically name your songs and explain what they like about your music than you can talk seriously to them. Like was stated before, a real A&R man works for a record co. He has no reason to ask you for money. Ben
