Q

As a GMA Member, can I send you my demo for critique or to forward to a record company, publisher and/or producer?

A

The GMA does not publish or produce music of any kind, nor are we able to forward material to recording artists, record or publishing companies. The GMA is a non-profit, trade organization whose primary purpose is to provide product resources and educational opportunities for those involved with or interested in the Christian music industry. We offer advice through our
many resources on how to accomplish your music-, ministry-, and career-related goals.
GMA members and non-member also can take advantage of the Unsigned SONG Critique Service, where you can submit your songs ($30/song for GMA members - $40/song for non-members) to be critiqued by industry professional. Click here for more information on this member benefit.
