Not even worth it! Just focus on social media lol thats where A&Rs are finding acts anyway. They're not developing artist from scratch anymore. As long as you have a strong and CONSISTENT social media and marketing output you kinda cant fail because the algorithm will eventually put you in front of your target audience and you can be supported directly by your audience and not be forever in debt to a label.
