Getting Songs on Soundtracks

Image by Getty Images via @daylife Getting your song on a sound track is not as easy as it may sound but it is a great way to build exposure. Now to get your music placed on a major motion picture sound track you would have to go through a major record label. What am I talking about here is getting your music into indie movie which still has great reach because you are getting into the film and Television market. For example, going through a company like Taxi to get your songs pushed to TV is not a bad idea. Also, linking up with up and coming film producers can be a great way to get your music placed on sound tracks because they are the next generation of film producers.

Everyone knows the highlight of the Superbowl is the new commericals and the half time show. The Superbowl has been known to put some of the biggest names on stage during the half time event. This year the Blackeyed Peas should be the group that brings the half time entertainment to the crowd of millions during the Superbowl. I think the half time show is what really makes the game. Fergee is one female artist who brings the pain with the performances that come with the Black Eyed Peas.
