Artist Guide

Everything artists need to know about submitting songs and tracking progress.

Finding the Right Reviewer

Choosing the right reviewer makes a huge difference in the quality of feedback you receive. Here's how to find your match:

Genre Matching

Look for reviewers who specialize in your genre. A country music expert will give more relevant feedback on your country track than a hip-hop specialist.

Check Their Ratings

Each reviewer has a rating from other artists. Higher ratings generally mean more helpful, detailed feedback.

Review Their Bio

Read the reviewer's bio to understand their background and approach. Some focus on production quality, others on songwriting, others on commercial viability.

Watch Their Live Sessions

If a reviewer is live, watch their stream for a bit before submitting. You'll get a feel for their style and whether it fits what you're looking for.

Tips for Getting Better Feedback

  3. Choose appropriate tiers - More investment = more detailed feedback
  4. Be open to criticism - The most valuable feedback is often the hardest to hear
  5. Follow up on suggestions - Implement feedback and resubmit to see improvement
