For many of you who have submitted in the past this will be a rehash of old material. Nothing has really changed in 10 years as far as submitting music goes. Many havesaid KB is by far the easiest to send music too.
Lets start with the basics.
1. All music ia to be aubmitted to kbradiomusic@outlook.com Anything recieved in other mailboxes is just deleted. Im sorry if that sounds rude.
2. Please include in your email a copy of the song you are submitting. It must be an actual attachment or via dropbox, google drive or like that. Youtube links, Soundcloud etc are not processed. Please don't say listen and let us know and we will send it to you. That just duplicates the work load and adds extra emails.
3. We would love if you included some form of bio. Also include social media links. We are trying to build a database of this info. If you have sent it all before no its not needed every time. Changes or updatea are appreciated.
4. If you have a date you prefer we start playing your track please include it. Otherwise we will assume its playable upon receipt.
5. I like to ask if you are eapecially new to the KB family if you can send a 2nd song with it. If for some reason we cant play your preferred choice than we can consider the other option.
6. MP3 WAV etc. It doesnt matter to us.
What we dont want. Lol its a short list
Feel free to share your albums with us but dont ask us to pick a track oout of 10 songs. We dont have the time.
Please please please... say hello. If your email is nothing but an email attachment of your song and not even a simple "hi" or anything written it will go in the GARBAGE! You get what you give. If you cant take 10 seconds to write even a simple hello I dont have 10 seconds for your song.
The final item is if possible dont send songs in folders that are time sensitive. I will explain further below.
We get 1000 plus emails a month with music to review. I have streamlined the heck out of the process and it still takes on average 7 minutea per email to process. We get behind some times. If the link expires in 7 days dont bother sending it. You are wasting your own time.
Another to remember is we are not indie stations. We play approximately 10% of the music submitted. I used to reply to everyone even for songs we werent playing but i rarely do that these days due to time and workload.
The final items are we dont play cover songs. Dont debate me on this, my stations you lose. Since we play a mix of mainstream and indie getting an indie cover just wont work for ky programming. Im sorry but oftem those songs are already in rotation by the original artists. Before you say i heard you play Manfred Manns Blinded by the Light and everyone knows its a Springsteen song. Yes and both were mainstream. Again dont debate me please. I actually have in my file a series of letters from a would be promoter who told me how wrong i am. Lol As i told.him, i dont tell you how to promote dont tell me how to program my stations.
If you remix your song and send it in, if we have played it before we wont add this new veraion. LET ME BE CLEAR This is not cleaning up or remastering this is here is song A and now here is song A the funky mix, and the tuna mix, and the disco mix.
I dont ever want to sound arrogant but i program my stations the way i was trained and schooled in radio going back 40 years now. My initial podcasts garnered 40,000 listeners in 8 months and after 10 years i think my record speaks for itself. I dont expect everyone to like me and thats fine. Just remember, i didnt ask you for your music. You submitted it. So before you get shitty with me, i have 1000 more emails to get to. What was yout name again?
Any questions please ask. Our doors are always open.
