Add Your Music to
"The Radio Cafe" Playlist!

"The Radio Cafe" is a  new nationally syndicated FM radio program dedicated to playing
locally produced music created by independent singers and bands.

How to Submit Your Music

PLEASE NOTE: 
Due to the number of CD's received,
CD's sent in for consideration CANNOT BE RETURNED.

To add your music to our play list or to be scheduled for an on-air interview on the "The Radio Cafe" show:
 

We want to play your music, bottom line.  What you need to know, though, is that we have LOTS of music to listen to so it may take some time to check it out, but we really will listen to it. For sure, no lie!

Because we receive a lot of songs, we aren't gonna be able to provide feedback, evaluations or info as to if we received it.  If it is a song that is selected for our playlist, we will for sure contact you enough ahead of time so that you can be sure to hear it on the radio or online, and so that you will be able to let your family and friends know to listen for your music, too.  We may even contact you and do an interview with you "on the air", so you can give some background info about your music!

So, here's how to submit your music:

#1) You must be a member of

and

(This is so that listeners of the show will be able to easily find more information on the artists that they hear on the show)
 

2) Once you are a member of ReverbNation and the Indie Music Channel
(or if you are already a member of both), fill out the form below

3) Email an mp3 (no other file format) of your copyrighted music
(your submission MUST be your original work)
to: music@theradiocafe.com

Please, do not "snail mail" your music unless we request it.  We have enough cds laying around.  All we need in order to put your music on our show is pull it from your mp3.  Plus, we would prefer if you kept the cd and sold it and made some money off of it
(rather than it sit in our pile of other cds).

If you must "snail mail" it, send it to:

Metro Media Group, Inc
200 East Big Beaver Rd.
Troy, Michigan 48083

Please do not send us any press kits.  We have no use for those, either.  Save those for record labels, agents, mangers, etc.

If your music is chosen for air play, you will be contacted via email as to the air date and station(s) that your music will be played. 
There will also be a link on this website to your Indie Music Channel "Artist Page" for listeners to go to to get more info on you and your music! (see sample below).

Music Guidelines

We don't have many other rules, just some guidelines to save both, you and us, a lot of time and to help make sure that your stuff gets played on the show:

• - Submitted music must be your own original work, meaning you and/or your band wrote the song.
   
• - For music submitted to be played on "The Radio Cafe" radio show, Lyrics should have NO profanity.  Period.  This is still commercial radio, sorry.  We may even have to request a lyric sheet of the song you want us to play prior to us playing it on the show.  If you feel that your music is for a more "mature" audience, click here to submit your music to "The Radio Cafe Xtreme".
   
• - Production value of your music is important – don't settle for a junky mix!  One of the biggest reasons that we are unable to play some of the music that people submit is because of a rushed mix, levels are all over the place, etc.  Be sure to send us your best! Your stuff should be of the same kind of clarity as other songs you hear on the radio.

Other than that, that's it!  The Radio Cafe' is truly here to get your music heard and to help local, independent artists like you get radio play.  Your music may be played in other markets and on other radio stations besides a station in your hometown.  Your music may also be played as a podcast on radio station's websites which enables your music to be heard around the world! 

So submit your music and let's get it on the air!  You keep making it, and we'll keep playing it!
