6 Steps To Reaching Artists on Twitter
Noticed that a lot of members really aren't utilizing twitter like they could. I know a lot of you get it but it also seems like a lot don't get the basics so I wanted to go ahead and explain what has worked for me and just some general rules.
1. Step one is obviously to set up a twitter account. In your bio, make it clear your a music producer and make sure you have an email address in there so that people can contact you when needed. This will also save you time by not having to send your email out all the time.
2. Follow people that are relevant to what you want to accomplish. If you're looking to place beats with rapper, follow those rappers you are interested in and not 10 thousand twitter models lol.
3. Now once you're following the people you actually care about, chances are you'd like to maybe submit some beats to them and see what you can make happen. DO NOT @ THEM WITH YOUR SOUNDCLICK/SOUNDCLOUD/SPAM LINKS!
4. Unless you have a name they recognize, they follow you, or they aren't very popular, chances are they wont reply when you ask for an email address to send beats to and they're definitely not hanging out clicking links. So what has worked for me is, take a look at some of the people they talk to on twitter. You usually can find their friends, their DJ's, managers, tour managers, artists signed to them, etc. These people can HELP you a lot. These people usually aren't nearly as popular as the artist themselves so you have a much greater chance at them seeing your message and actually responding.
5. Now one thing I notice a lot is, you see somebody hit up artists or these managers with things like "I'M THE GREATEST PRODUCER EVER, I JUST NEED ONE SHOT! PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL!". This is a horrible first impression, its almost as if you met this individual in person and dropped to your knees begging for a shot, very unprofessional. You're better off saying something like "Hey man, got some beats for (artist name) but don't have anywhere to send them. You got an email for beats by any chance?" Much more professional approach and much less desperate sounding. Not everyone will respond but a lot of these people want to help their artists, so if they can be the person to give them some dope new beats, they'll do that.
6. Now if you're hitting up one of their artists that they're signed to or work with closely, don't even mention the bigger artist. Nobody wants to feel used, so ask to send them some beats for them to use on their own projects. Build your relationship with them and chances are they wont mind later on helping you get to whatever artist you were focused on anyway.
These are just things that have worked for me and I've gotten email addresses for people from Big Sean to 2chainz and a bunch others using these techniques on twitter. Hope that helps some of you!
