Do you have a demo you'd like us to hear? We accept demo submissions through online links. Please note that we do not accept physical copies or audio files. The online link should be unlisted (not public) and accessible without permission. We recommend using a low format for easy playback. Your demo will be considered a sketch of your song or music, helping us evaluate its potential. We will not keep the demo as our asset or use its ideas without your permission.
