Hi, everyone:

A new JPFer PM'ed me following questions:

Didn't you put out leads to a lot of companies?

I was lucky: the management company that expressed interest in my song was the first company that I contacted. Before then I wasn't really pitching my material, probably because something told me that I wasn't ready. Now I'm constantly plugging my songs, always looking for new opportunities.

Do you think it is important to invest in a really perfect demo if the homemade one is very good?

When you pitch a song, you're basically asking everyone involved (the artist, the label, the manager, the promotion department, the publicity rep) to risk their careers on your song. If you think that your home demo is strong enough, go for it. Otherwise, I'd invest in a more polished demo.

Hope this helps!

Mitch
