Dear Dear Aspiring Producer:

Let's start over. You are contacting me to listen to your music and give you feedback on your project.


Let's pretend that I am an industry person who can make a difference and help you with your musical career. On the initial contact, you need to make me want to listen to your music, as I am flooded with requests like this.

Some suggestions:

1. Check spelling.
2. Use punctuation.
3. Use capitalization.
4. Use correct grammar.
5. Don't use familiar terms, i.e. 'u' instead of you.
6. Most importantly - show me that you are excited and proud of your music, not that I should listen to it if I "get bored."

A little professionalism with your contacts will help you a lot in your career.
