How to get a major record deal....?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you've already recorded an album or demo, if not do that first.  Then:

Check out http://jamilleluney.com  She used to produce for Beyonce, Nas, Alicia Keys, etc.. now she has a website that helps unsigned and indie artists.  She gives step by step instructions on how to attract record labels.

Also check out Musician's Atlas, it's a magazine that lists every record label, manager, A&R, etc.... it also tells who is accepting demos (solicited and unsolicited).

Answer 2

I mean really, pass the banana peels buddy.

The only way to get a record deal (major or any other kind) is

*Be uber talented

*Perservere.  If you don't have trunkloads of luck, then this is in your future if you want to record

* Be realisitic.  If you can do anything besides music and be satisfied, do it.  Otherwise, you won't care what to do to get a record contract, because you would be willing to play for free.
