How It Works

Shot at a Deal is a direct bridge between independent artists and top USA music producers. Here is exactly what happens when you submit.

1
Create a Free Account

Sign up with your name, email, and a password. Creating an account is completely free. Fill in your artist profile including optional links to SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, and more.

2
Submit Your Best Song

Upload one original song per submission. We accept WAV, MP3, FLAC, and AIFF files up to 50MB. Choose your genre (Rock or Country) and include a brief description. A $100 submission fee applies per song — this ensures only serious, high-quality work reaches our producers.

3
Pay the Submission Fee

Complete payment via Stripe (credit/debit card), PayPal, or Wise bank transfer. Your submission enters the producer review queue only after payment is confirmed.

4
Producer Reviews Your Music

Your submission is matched to a genre-appropriate producer. For Rock, your music reaches a producer from Jon Bon Jovi's team. For Country, two established Nashville-connected producers review your work. They listen, evaluate, and make their decision.

5
Get Notified

You can track your submission status in real time on your dashboard. When a decision is made, you will be notified. Selected artists receive official outreach via multiple channels.

Selected Artists Get an Interview

If selected, you will be invited to a direct interview with the producer. This is a genuine opportunity at a record deal — not just feedback or exposure.
