Get Signed to Jive Records

Jive Records is a part of Sony BMG, one of the big four record labels. The big four are responsible for nearly eighty percent of all the music that is produced and distributed in the United States. Understandably, getting signed to a big four record label, like Jive Records, is a huge achievement for any musician. If you have a great voice and sing pop or soul, you might be lucky enough to get signed to Jive Records.

J.R. is currently producing the likes of Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and R. Kelly. If you want to get signed to Jive Recordings, your presentation needs to be as professional as theirs. You need to have a look that matches with your voice, and you need to have a tight demo album. A lot of people are making electronic press kits these days. Their demo CD also has all their press clippings, biographical data, and photos stored on the same disc electronically. There is probably also a link to their website. Yes, today, if you want to get signed to Jive Records, or any other major label, you need to have your own website.

Don't start out right away by submitting your demo to J.R.

First you need to build up a fan base. Start doing local concerts. If you're a solo act, look for piano bars, open mic nights, and even karaoke bars at which you can sign. Use your website to publicize when you will be singing. Hopefully you will be able to find some musicians to accompany you. When your group is both tight and popular on the local scene, you should consider hiring a manager who can get your signed to an indie label and eventually get you signed to J.R.
