If you released a mixtape online for free, would more than 500 people listen to it?
Have you been featured on at least three music blogs run by people who weren’t friends with you personally before you put out music?
Do you have a manager, agent, or lawyer who’s doing some legwork to help your career or have people approached you about managing you?
