Hello,
I am just simply a singer/songwriter from Seattle, actually living in Sultan. I have no idea how to get started in the music business, such as where to find information on auditions and how I can record a cd at an affordable rate, how to get exposure and market myself, etc. If anyone can help? My e-mail address is charlotte.quevedo@gmail.com

Hello Charlotte,
It would help if I new your age, got to see a photo of you and could hear your voice and musical style. Do you have a web site or are you on myspace?
Networking is usually a great place to start. So, go out to the clubs that have live music and meet the musicians.
As far as recording goes, there are some great people to assist you with that on this site such as Mike Caro from Sub Studios. He's got many posts on the boards about recording. Give him a private message and I'm sure he'll tell you all you need to know about recording.
There are also several great threads about marketing yourself via CD Baby, etc. so take a look and just start communicating to the nice folks on these boards. You can also send private messages to some folks in your area.
Best of luck,
Heidi
