Artists Only: Detailed Evaluation & Review

If your passion is to entertain and edify people with your talent, this is your opportunity to be heard.

We are looking for artists with exceptional, recognizable voices and styles to sign to our artist development company. Your ability to write your own songs is a plus but not a necessity.

Please give us a detailed description of your performing experience, artists with whom you identify and who have influenced you, known artist(s) for whom you could open, and the amount of touring you would be able to do based on your relationships and/or job. If you would like us to hear complete songs, submit them, or if you'd rather give us a taste of some different songs, you can submit a show reel medley not longer than five minutes. For every submission, we'll open a conversation with you so we can go further than just a critique of the submission. That conversation will stay open until we've given you every observation and piece of advice we can think of. We won't mince words, so be prepared to get an extremely detailed and honest evaluation of your talent, including what we think your strengths and weaknesses are and what we believe your chances of making it as an artist would be. A small percentage of artists rise to the top. If you aspire to be in that number, let us hear from you. This opportunity is somewhat higher in price than the average opportunity on Xray because we will take the time to deeply evaluate your songs, videos and links. We can't guarantee that we will be able to work with you, but at the minimum, you'll benefit from our 50 years experience in the music industry.

- Warren Ells - Owner - SeaSoDeep Music and SeaBeyondShore Music ASCAP

As an experienced audio engineer and record producer, I am offering detailed critiques of submitted music tracks. I will provide honest and constructive feedback on your music, including elements such as composition, arrangement, production, and mixing. My aim is to help you improve your music and take it to the next level.

In my critiques, I will highlight the strengths of your track and suggest areas that need improvement, including advice on how to enhance the sonic quality of your recording. I have worked with a wide range of music genres, from pop to hip-hop, rock to R&B, and more, so I have a broad understanding of what makes a great track in various styles.

Upon completion of the critique, any fees charged will appear in your account, and you will receive a detailed written critique. You will have the option to start a two-way conversation, where I can answer any further questions or clarify any comments made in the critique. My goal is to help you grow as an artist and achieve your musical aspirations.
