Michael Zapruder, Pandora Music Curator
So that’s the first thing you need to know. If you are connecting with an audience or community in a strong way; if you’re playing good rooms and getting attention, you will have a fine chance of getting into our collection.
We know we can’t find everything, though, so for the many deserving bands that we miss for one reason or another (and for bands that are just starting out), we offer a web-based music submission process that is free and open to everyone.
Here’s how it works:
- Register for Pandora (the submission process is connected to listener accounts, so you can use your existing account if you have one).
- Go to http://submitmusic.pandora.com and follow the directions for submitting.
- If your CD meets the requirements for submission (you have to have a valid UPC code and the record has to be for sale in the Amazon CD store), you’ll be prompted to upload two songs along with any biographical or press information and any links you’d like us to know about.
- When we get to your submission, we listen and make a decision about whether your submission is right for us. (This takes time, so be patient.)
