			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I made a 5:24 minute video below (scroll down to the bottom to view), that answers a question I got from Louis. He asks &#8221; where do I take it next (the recorded music) so it can go to the next level..&#8221;</p>
<p>What I think he means is that when you&#8217;re starting out and you have just finished and polished up your new music, what do you do next?</p>
<p>Well the video below explains what you should do next.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ShukZ4H5174&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ShukZ4H5174&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Basically, you need to get your music to a tastemaker so that you can get some feedback and input on what you have produced.</p>
<p>What is a tastemaker? A tastemaker could be one of many influential music industry types. From a well respected A and R, to a DJ.</p>
<p>In this case, I&#8217;ll refer to the radio/club DJ as being the person who to target. Why? Because this is the method I used when I was starting out and I have used this approach on may occasions.</p>
<p>DJ&#8217;s have their ear to the streets and could let you know if your music is a &#8220;hit&#8221;, &#8220;miss&#8221; or a &#8220;grower&#8221;. They could get to test your music and see what the response is like first hand via radio airplay (if they can choose what gets played) and in the clubs.</p>
<p>I have to apologize if your genre of music doesn&#8217;t fit this method. In that case you will want to find someone that has similar influence in your genre.
