How To Get Your Music On 93.9 WKYS

YOUR MUSIC DAY SURVIVAL KIT

Everything You Need To Know About Submitting Music For Music Day

From The Music/Programming Department:

93.9WKYS is one of the few stations around the world that supports their local artist. For many years, we have prided ourselves in helping to break local acts such Wale,  Mario, Dru Hill, Ginwuine, Mya, Tank,  and more to national exposure. Each of the aforementioned artists has had their representatives come through the station for Music Day. National representatives from Def Jam, Sony, Jive, Interscope-have also came in for Music Day. Music Day is your chance to present your “radio single” the Mix Show Director and/or Music Director. Any advice that you receive while you’re in the music meeting, you should use it to your advantage.

This 93.9 WKYS Music Survival Kit should be used as a Checklist. Please keep in mind that just because you follow the steps in the kit, it does not guarantee that your song will go on the radio. Every song is not a hit. The goal of this 93.9 WKYS Music Survival Kit is to educate you on how you should approach the music industry when it comes to getting airplay.

Note: Each step outlined in the kit must be followed before you can meet with the Music Director and/or Mixshow Director.
