"KMA Radio" Submission Guidelines

Want to get your music played on our podcast? Here are the basic rules for submitting to us!

1. Send all submissions to Knightengalemusic@hotmail.com, ideally in MP3 format, with the subject line "KMA Radio Submission". We do want the quality of the track to be high enough to come through right when we compile it with the other songs. DO NOT send us YouTube links, we need actual files to put into the podcast.

2. You must submit your own work. This can include covers, original songs, etc., but it MUST be genuinely YOURS. Due to copyright laws we can not legally put out a song that you just happen to like, no matter how much we may love it also. If you send us something by another artist we will not play it without proper authorization from the original artist or label. If this happens, you will need to provide us proof that you are authorized to deal on the artist's behalf.

3. Include a copy of the lyrics, if your track has any. We have a wide range of ages among our fans, and out of respect to ALL of you, we ask that you do not submit certain content, such as songs praising drug use, degrading women, or attacking a race or belief. Basically, keep it friendly enough that it could be played on an actual radio station, since presumably that IS your eventual goal if you're trying to get your music out to the masses. If your song has swearing please send us the clean version of the track. We WILL listen to every track we are sent before considering it for play, so if a clean version does not exist, our staff may consider creating one using the track you've sent us (yes, we are THAT good). If this occurs with your music, we will notify you before putting the song into the podcast so that you can hear the alteration(s) we have made, and tell us if you still want us to play it. Keep in mind that if we found it necessary to edit the song(s) in the first place we will not play the track unaltered.

4. Genre does not matter to us. Send us rap, country, rock, pop, classical, alternate languages...ANYTHING. Understand that we will have a lot of music of music to go through, so it may take a while for us to get to your music. If we have a particular theme for the songs on a day where yours doesn't fit the mood, don't worry. We WILL get around to your music at some point, and we will never trash a track without a valid reason. If for whatever reason we DO have to do this with your music though, you will be notified and given the details and a chance to either resubmit an alternate version or another song.

5. We love hearing new music and can never get enough of the stuff. If you want to send us your whole album go for it! We may like it enough to play the entire album on the show, just make sure you specify which tracks are the singles or you have the most interest in our putting out there. Again, especially in the case of a full album, include accurate lyrics in full. This means if you have skits, interval tracks, or background pieces that include any kind of vocals, spoken or otherwise, also include lyrics for them. If it was important enough for you to put it into the song we'd love to know the details, and we're sure the other listeners would as well. If there is any album artwork you can include please send that as well since we may choose to display it if we feature your album.

6. This is probably the most important step, so be sure to pay close attention: Have fun with this. We're incredibly excited to be able to now offer this as an option for our fans, if you enjoy what we're doing let us know. We want to be sure that you enjoy yourselves and that you feel like you are getting the most out of this relationship. If you have ideas, or feel like something we're doing isn't working, tell us, so that we can hopefully work with you and get things running the way they should. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we can't do any of this without you. The fans give us a purpose, and are what keep us looking for new ways to entertain and teach about the industry, so thank you. It is a slow climb but we're hoping to bring you all with us over the years to see us grow and change for the better.
