Demo song submission to Sony Music

How to submit a demo song to Sony Music?

Sony Music and our labels never offer contracts and/or accept demo submissions in exchange for a fee or payment. If you have been contacted by someone through email, social media or text messaging who claim to represent us and are offering you a deal in exchange for a payment, it is a scam.

Sony Music does not accept unsolicited material or payment

Sony Music and its employees do not accept, or consider, unsolicited sound recordings, musical compositions or any other creative materials.

For one of Sony Music’s labels or creative centers to review a demo, it must come recommended through an established music industry professional, such as a manager, lawyer, agent, producer, artist, programmer, or tastemaker. We suggest you consult with one or more of these professionals for more information.

Please note that if, despite our policy, you submit unsolicited material to us, then Sony Music has no obligation, and shall not be liable to you, or to any person claiming through you, based on such submission.

Sony Music’s demo policy is committed to providing equal opportunities for aspiring musicians. They do not accept fees for contracts or demo submissions, ensuring a fair and accessible platform for talent discovery. If you aspire to submit your music to Sony Music, AvenueAR and its partners offer a legitimate avenue to connect directly with some of Sony’s A&R managers. This direct interaction provides artists with a genuine opportunity to showcase their work to industry professionals who can potentially help advance their careers. By leveraging AvenueAR’s platform and network, artists can bridge the gap between their creative aspirations and the industry’s gatekeepers in a transparent and acceptable manner.
