The Real Reason Your Demos Don't Get Responses

The Real Reason Your Demos Don't Get Responses

Most artists sending demos to DJs already know on some level the track is not ready. This episode is about what happens when you ignore that.

Joey, Ralph, and Jobke answer your questions about networking, getting your music heard, and what actually moves the needle in a music production career. They get into why music quality is still the baseline before networking works, how to build an honest feedback loop around your productions, and what promo services can and cannot do for you long term.

Honest conversation, no easy answers.
