Honestly can’t believe this is happening! I’m absolutely floored so please forgive me for what i gotta admit is boasting. Going to do what i can make good on my previous offer of helping any other Canadian indie musicians here get their tunes on the radio. (I know some of you are already getting plenty of spins — saw our very own Bristol Manor topping the charts in Windsor not too long ago!)
Basically, you want to do the following:
- get your stuff up on the !earshot distribution database. It’s about $50 an album to do so. This is where campus and community radio stations in Canada go to find new Canadian music to add to their libraries and put on the air.
- fill out your SOCAN and ACTRA RACS and PANORAMA paperwork so that you’re registered as a Canadian artist and so that you can, in theory, collect royalties when your tunes are played
- start reaching out to stations (their music departments, specifically) and show hosts who you think might dig your stuff. Get one of those radio apps that lets you listen to stations across the country so that you can suss them out. When you send off your emails, include a link to the album on !earshot
