1. Finish Your Profile
Your profile is the first impression you make on Labels, so make it count!
“The best pro-tip to start with is to fill out your LabelRadar profile with your details. It's so much more helpful when checking out a track with a complete artist profile. I love to dive into an artist's brand and check out what their project is all about - that's where I get excited about working with a new artist. You don't have to have everything figured out, but the more you have in place, the easier it is for an A&R to commit to you."
– Jonathan Winter, A&R Operations Lead (Monstercat)
Take a few minutes to fill out your artist bio, upload a great photo, and add your social links. A polished profile not only represents your music but also tells Labels who you are as an artist.

2. Try a One-to-Many Submission
Expand your horizons by submitting your track to the General Submissions pool.
With this option, your track is made available to every Label on LabelRadar for 60 days. This approach is less targeted than one-to-one submissions, but it’s a fantastic way to discover Labels from around the world you may have never known about or considered working with.
Think of it as casting a wide net to uncover hidden gems in the LabelRadar ecosystem. While some Labels focus more on direct submissions, this strategy helps you connect with opportunities you didn’t even know existed.

3. Collaborate with Another Artist on Artist Network
Collaboration is the secret sauce to leveling up your artistry.
On Artist Network, you can connect with other creators who inspire you. Whether it’s by genre, DAW, skills, or location, this tool makes it easy to find your next collaborator. Collaboration brings fresh ideas, new sounds, and access to new audiences. It’s also a great way to stay inspired and push your music in exciting directions.

Whether you’re reimagining a track from a favorite artist or experimenting with a new genre, remix contests let you showcase your creativity to the world. Keep an eye out for upcoming opportunities!

5. Get Some Inspiration
Every artist faces moments of doubt, frustration, and uncertainty—it’s a natural part of the creative journey. These challenges aren’t setbacks; they’re stepping stones to something greater.
In our latest Beatportal article, artists like ARMNHMR, WHIPPED CREAM, and Extra Terra share how they turned their toughest moments into breakthroughs. Their stories of resilience and practical advice will remind you that you’re not alone—and your journey is far from over.
Every "no" you hear is a sign of growth, not defeat. It’s proof that you’re putting yourself out there, honing your craft, and moving closer to the opportunities that truly matter. Keep creating, keep pushing, and trust that each step—even the tough ones—are building toward your next big "yes."
