Posted by Mike McCready | June 2nd, 2010 | No responses

Music Xray is an A&R platform that helps people who professionally receive songs manage and make sense of them easier than ever before.

By creating a state-of-the-art, efficient and organized A&R Platform that the music industry can use for free, we enable many of the industry’s top companies and talent buyers to make themselves directly available to artists, songwriters, song owners and performers via song drop boxes. Even companies that previously did not accept unsolicited material have found that Music Xray enables them to open their doors. The platform is also a facilitator of communication and conversations between artists and industry professionals that makes the interactions rewarding for both parties.

Additionally, Music Xray has made it easier for top producers, coaches and even artists themselves to offer song critiquing and career coaching services, (sometimes for free), making Music Xray the easiest and fastest way to get advice, education and insights about music and the music business.
