How to Submit Your Music to Radio Stations: The Smart Way

As an independent artist, getting your music on the radio can feel overwhelming. Many artists make critical mistakes when submitting their music, hurting their chances of airplay. Here's how to do it right.

The Old Way vs The Smart Way

Traditional radio submission methods have major drawbacks:

The Old Way:

• Sending unsolicited email attachments that often get blocked
• Your music gets lost in crowded inboxes
• No confirmation if stations received your tracks
• Unclear submission requirements
• No way to track your submission status

The Smart Way:

• Submit through the station's official submission system
• Get instant confirmation your music was received
• Track the status of your submissions
• Know exactly what each station requires
• Build professional relationships with stations

How to Submit Your Music Professionally

Before sending your music, check if the station uses RhetoricSound - a professional submission platform that many stations prefer. If they do, you're in luck! Here's why:

• Your music goes directly to the station's review team
• You'll know exactly when they review your tracks
• Your submission includes all the info stations need
• You agree to clear terms upfront
• You look professional and serious about your music

Don't See Your Target Station on RhetoricSound?

Ask them! Most stations want to modernize their submission process. Here's a template you can use:

It's a platform that makes it easy and secure for stations to receive and review music. Looking forward to sharing my music with you! Best, [Your Name]
