Email Example 1: Greetings, We are a new project but I think we have something fresh to offer. I will keep this simple and sweet and let you judge for yourself. Website: Facebook: Soundcloud: Label: We have one track that is good on mixing. The rest o the album is still in mixing and we will receive that very soon. I will be sending you a few private links via Soundcloud so that you can hear some of our rough unmixed tracks. Please do not judge them to harshly as they are not correct yet. XXX song is on our website and Soundcloud and is mixed and mastered. It features XXX of the highly regarded band XXX. Private Playlist of Rough tracks: Email Example 2: Hi Mercenary, I found you via Andy Black, and wanted to reach out and see if we may be considered to join your roster of artists.  We are XXX, from New York, and we are on a journey to create positive change.  We have a polished, entirely self created and owned product with a clear vision, and are seeking a manager that understands the industry and can help us launch this project into the mainstream.  Up until this point we have done/handled/managed/created all facets of this project ourselves; writing, recording, productions, visuals, marketing, PR, radio, advertising, distribution, administrative, etc. We need a larger team to achieve our goals, and we would love the opportunity to work with you. Please review some of our material below.  Our first single XXX has nearly 300K Youtube/Vevo views, and Vevo is currently featuring our XXX video in their 'Incoming Alternative' playlist on the Vevo home page. Our single, XXX, recently picked up spins from Alternative Specialty Radio stations across the US and our songs can be heard in TV shows such as The Voice (NBC), Love and Hip Hop (MTV), Black Ink Crew (MTV), and Desperate Housewives (BRAVO).  Links Please let us know your thoughts and if we may get on a call to chat in more detail about the project.
