'''Why submit to Pandora? Hmm let's see!'''

Pandora is hands down the most used music radio station and can get your music some great exposure. Exposure is the first step to connecting with potential fans and industry professionals. Plus Pandora is a free way to get your music heard by the masses. Now some artists have neglected to use Pandora because they do not have the required UPC code or a listing of their CD on Amazon.com So first off lets talk about killing those two birds with a paper clip. Ok, you might be wondering "how am I gone kill two birds with a paper clip?" Well if you're a trained ninja assassin like myself then...

But seriously, back on topic! :)

So to get over that first obsticle, start off by using Amazon's Create Space sercive to distribute your music as an on-demand manufactured physical CD, don't worry it's all free. Once you have done this, step two will be automatica because they will supply you with a free UPC as well as list your music on Amazon. And while you're knocking over those two birds with a paper clip, go ahead and use their Artist Central to claim your artist page and control the branding of your music on Amazon.com.

Now lets hop on over to Pandora! Here is a list of things you'll need to get your music submitted:

1. A CD of your music 2. MP3 files for 2 of your songs 3. A UPC code(use the one Amazon.com supplied you) 4. The legal rights to your music

Ok, now that you've gotten all of those things together lets move on...but wait! Most important part of this process is to have the legal rights to your music, that includes the beats and instrumentals. Be sure to have obtained the appropriate license to those beats and instrumentals or you could have some serious legal troubles later. Got it? good! Let's get started.
