Single And Artist Info

Please fill out the info below so that we will have the correct info on your e-blast and for our system. If your single does not have a record label of any kind, then put "(Artist Name) Music" in the "Label" field. If specific fields do not apply to you, then you can put "N/A." If you have a logo for your record label, please upload it to Step 3 along with your artwork. This will be placed on the hard copy CD sleeve next to your track listing. If you do not have a logo, we will typeset your label name on the sleeve track list. If you have a promotional paragraph longer than 300 words, contact Mark Piland at mark@cdxnashville.com about using it for your blast.
This write-up will go on the e-blast. It can be about the artist, their music, or a mix of both. You'll want to write something that you feel would draw someone into checking out your music.
