They provide musicians of all types opportunities that you couldn’t find anywhere else. Thanks to them, I can now add events like SXSW to my resumé, and I’ve made connections with other likeminded musicians across the country.

“Shout out and massive thank you to MusicGorilla.com! With their help, Georgetown, TX, alt rockers Tough On Fridays (http://www.toughonfridays.com) scored a terrific corporate gig in San Antonio first week in May! So appreciative! “

Tough On Fridays – Pro Artist Members
“A great service for an up and coming independent Pop / Rock / Punk group like us here at Marnee Mayhem. We all work full time so promoting the band and getting our music out there is usually the last thing we get around to as spare time is reserved for rehearsing and jamming out new tracks. Having Music Gorilla supporting us opens new pathways where our songs can be accessed by labels and other providers in the music industry (Film, TV Productions) as well as the opportunity to be connected with brands and events all of which help push our Art and cause forward!”

“It is a pleasure working with Music Gorilla. [They’re] always very responsive to my questions, and I believe their screening process for my entries is excellent.

I’m not always sure about which of my entries are going to be on target, but the ones they end up forwarding do seem to be a good fit for the ask.

The most recent submission I’m excited about is my environmental song “Do What You Do” – which Music Gorilla forwarded for a short film about the environment.”

– Keith Rayburn – Pro Artist Member

We got to play a great show in a professional and friendly atmosphere and have one on one conversations with some major talent scouts. Doing so directly resulted in the opportunity to make a record with multi-platinum producer Matt Squire. We couldn’t have done it without Music Gorilla and it was exactly what 3PM needed!”

“Music Gorilla’s SXSW showcase in Austin is hands down the best showcase we’ve been a part of 2 years in a row now. Not only is the venue the best on 6th st, but we’ve received amazing opportunities each time. Last year we were written about in Vibe Magazine as “One of the Top 7 Acts You Need To Know Right Now” and this year we were offered to tour in China! Also, Alexia and Lawrence who run it are completely awesome to work with. We highly recommend it.”

“Music Gorilla provides opportunity. That’s their mission. That’s their purpose. They do so because they have the same passion in music as the artists they represent. Alexia and Lawrence are industry pros who have spent a lot of time and effort building relationships in the business so they can open doors for their clients. We have thoroughly enjoyed showcasing at Music Gorilla Live 2015 & 2016 in Austin, and not only was the night a blast, but we performed in front of Radio Station Program Directors who are now interested in playing our music.”

We look forward to more collaboration with Music Gorilla, thank you guys!”
Piqued Jacks – Basic Artist Members
“Our band, Lost In Atlantis, were approached by Music Gorilla for the opportunity to perform at a NYC showcase for Columbia Records. We were surprised to see how many fans believed in us to get us all the way to and from NYC. Once we arrived to the famous Bitter End, we were greeted by a friendly personnel from MG. We received amazing feedback from Columbia Records, we’re looking forward on letting our relationship grow with them. MG has opened up a lot of doors! They’re a company that’s truly for the artist!”

I think that Music Gorilla it’s a serious service that keeps musician in mind.”

Fabrizio Zilli – Basic Artist Member
“Falling Through April had no idea what to expect from the Music Gorilla A&R showcase but we were blown away. After our performance we had the opportunity to meet directly with Columbia Records A&R. We were really pleased that he was so detailed and thorough with his immediate feedback. Most bands struggle every day trying to get an opportunity to perform their music in front of even the smallest of labels…Music Gorilla put us in the lap of a Major label. Music Gorilla obviously takes a lot of pride in what they do because the quality of what they offer is priceless. We would perform EVERY Music Gorilla showcase if possible! Thank you!”
Falling Through April – Pro Artist Members

It was a lot of fun to participate in the Austin showcase this past March. Showcasing various bands in such a short period of time is quite a feat, but the MG team were efficient, calm, and helpful…and there was a great crowd in attendance! I’m really looking forward to performing for an A&R rep from A&M/Octone at The Bitter End in NYC tomorrow night and I’m grateful to MusicGorilla for the chance to do so!”

“We were happy to play the show at Burnside’s during SXSW. We did a non-stop set which finished with an audience requested encore! We were literally done and the sound guy left the table to unplug us from the stage but the crowd raised their voice asking for one more song! Sound guy went back to the table for us to play one more. It was awesome!
It was a lot of fun for us and we appreciate the opportunity to play for you guys.”

Alphabetics – Basic Artist Members

We are excited to have been selected for this once in a lifetime opportunity. We are original artists who have been striving and working hard to break into the music industry.

“I’ve been using Music Gorilla on and off for the last five or six years to help connect my songs with those in the industry who are able to make use of them. This site, unlike many I’ve tried, does for the artist exactly what it says it will. They’re open, transparent and their pitch listings tell the artist everything he or she needs to know in relation to whether or not their songs are suitable for that listing. Music Gorilla – well worth the investment.

David McMullen – Constellation J – Basic Artis Member
“…You guys have outstanding opportunities. Indie artists should def use the site it is one of the best in the biz. Thank you so much again and I hope you have a blessed day!!!”

REM N’ NISCE – Pro Artist Members
“Any artists, such as Telling on Trixie, that values exposure and growth, will find an invaluable partner in Music Gorilla. We gained a ton fans from our showcase as well as constructive, thoughtful, written feedback from the industry representative. Because MusicGorilla has a solid reputation for carefully selecting artists, the people on the other side of the business value and respect them. As a consequence, industry people treat MusicGorilla artists as a step above the rest.”
Derek Nicoletto – Telling On Trixie – Pro Artist Member
“Thank you so much for having us, Flux Minor, to play in the showcase for Virgin Records during SXSW. We appreciate all the hard work it takes to make the showcase a success that it was. This showcase for Virgin Records was the best and most professional we have attended. From the sound to the promotions and being greeted with a hug, we felt right at home, which made it easier for us to perform at our highest level! Thanks again!”
Matt – Flux Minor – Pro Artist Member
“Unlike many independent music sites that “claim” to put you in touch with industry reps, MusicGorilla, they’re legit! They really looked out for us when NBC needed a hip-hop video to play in an episode of “Friday Night Lights”. Music Gorilla suggested we submit our video and VERY QUICKLY it was approved by NBC. That opportunity came out of nowhere and we thank MusicGorilla for puttin’ that together. Good job!”
Kevin Walters – 857 – Pro Artist Member
“MG has made a huge difference in our band’s career. We were invited to play MusicGorilla’s Live Major Label Showcase. It was there that we connected with a producer/A&R rep from Capital Records.

You guys are amazing!”

Just a few weeks ago, I receive an inquiry, sent off my CD and received a contract in only a few days for my music to appear on up to 5 new kids Christian DVDs. It has also gotten me the option on a film with Sony… I am very elated to have found Music Gorilla, thank you.”
Les LaMotte – Pro Artist Member

Aaron – Backlit Revolver – Pro Artist Member
“MG is awesome! I’ve had several inquiries from Industry reps since joining, and recently was featured on a syndicated radio program for Indie Country musicians. Two of my songs were also selected for placement on their current compilation CD, which will soon begin receiving air-play at those same stations. That kind of exposure is phenomenal to an Indie writer like myself, and it is totally due to my Music Gorilla membership. Thank you MG for making this happen for me!!”
Anne Abercrombie – Pro Artist Member
“We (Grown Up Avenger Stuff) played 9 shows during SXSW 2013 and we loved every one of them. The one that stands out as the best, most fun, most valuable was the Music Gorilla showcase. While popular press coverage spreads the sad news that SXSW is not really an indie focused event anymore, Music Gorilla is truly keeping the indie spirit alive and healthy. We are so glad they are and we are deeply thankful and honored to have been included this year.”

I found Music Gorilla and immediately signed up for pro membership. I was excited (and somewhat skeptical) but happy I was actually able to submit my songs to producers. I submitted and a few weeks later actually got a request to send The Band Perry’s producer the MP3 for one of my songs! This is the best venue I have found to help me move forward with my goals.“

“Thank you for assisting us with finding the right tracks for the film “A Night At The Cat” . This was a unique project as we had over 35 music cues to fill! I couldn’t of been more pleased with the quality of music, professional artists and prompt response. I’ve recommended your site to other colleagues as well.”

“Wow, my new subscription to MusicGorilla.com is blowing my mind. In the first week, I had the opportunity to showcase live in front of major label A&R and received valuable feedback on my performance. I’ve also submitted my songs for placement opportunities I would have never known about with out the site. I’m really impressed with the broad range services that I can use to help build my career and the fast response from the MusicGorilla staff to my questions! Awesome!”
Johanna Stahley – Pro Artist Member
“In this Business they say “it’s not how good you are, it’s who you know” Well the people from MusicGorilla.com is who “you” should know.

If you are serious about your music, then you need to join MusicGorilla.com – Today!”

“MusicGorilla selected us to perform for major labels – Hollywood Records and Epic Records and without MusicGorilla we would not have had that opportunity. MusicGorilla has also assisted us in gaining exposure on network TV on NBC’s “Friday Night Lights”. Kudos go out to MusicGorilla folks for a job well done and everything they do to help the Indie artist get to the next level.”

“The opportunities that Music Gorilla provides with their free submissions is similar to what TAXI and other websites offer, but it is free!! For those of us who are actively making money off of our music, this really is a treasure. I have already received interest for one of my songs through MG, and I know more are on the horizon. If you believe in the songs you write, why not send them in? You really have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain by sending out a simple email!”
Dennis Fallon – Pro Artist Member
“As a manager for national recording artist Shelley Laine, I have tremendous appreciation for resources that promote the Independent Artist’s career. MG gives the artist access to opportunities that would otherwise not exist. Recently one of Shelley’s tracks was selected for a film. As a result of that she is getting significant national exposure. That would not have been possible without MG. Thanks for being there for the Indies!”

“Lucid Fly loves Music Gorilla! We heard from a friend that MG was for real, and that we need to check it out. After reading the mission, we instantly got the impression that we wouldn’t be another nameless band who can never be found after the first week (like many other unsigned band sites) Next thing we know, we’re on our way to Austin, TX in the heart of SXSW 2006 on the MG stage at Coyote Ugly. Much props to Lawrence, Alexia and everyone at MG!!”

“Well I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you for the show. It was awesome, and it went better than I could have hoped. All the labels and other companies who came to see us were very impressed, so hopefully it will lead somewhere. Thank you”

“There are a lot of companies out there today trying to make money off of independent musicians by offering products and services that promise the world but in the end provide no real value. Music Gorilla is NOT one of those companies. From their professional staff to their unique approach to artist development, Music Gorilla is a class act from top-to-bottom worth every penny.”
Brendan Hall – Sucka Brown – Pro Artist Member
“Finally there is a service that keeps the musician in mind. If you are serious about your music career, you need to have the right people listen to it. Music Gorilla not only does that, but stands behind it.”
Rob Rapiti, BLR Entertainment
“With the enormous amount of artists out there vying for attention, it’s great to have Music Gorilla sorting through it all and presenting the cream of the crop. A much valued service.”

“It’s a tool for NOONER, a resource for “industry people”. If used intelligently, the site could pay for itself…. Musicgorilla.com ROCKS!”
Chris Telles – NOONER – Pro Artist Member
“I can’t tell you how happy I am. For the price of what I could buy a CD for a month, I’ve already confirmed three paying gigs strictly from MG. In less than a week on MG we have accomplished things I thought were never possible. This is one company that truly has the musician as the main priority. To date, joining MG has been the BEST move our band has made. Period.”
Shawn Fussell and Day 4 – Pro Artist Member
“My name is Jorge Lan and I´m a musician from Mexico. I signed up with music gorilla a few months ago. Shortly after I was contacted by a company named PC Treasures offering me a distribution deal. I signed an agreement with them and some time later started producing some other cds for this company. For me, Music gorilla opened a lot of work opportunities.”
Jorge Lan – Pro Artist Member
“…I had been on the site about 3 weeks when I received my first email from a Rep. at a record company. I was blown away! I never expected a response that quickly. I LOVE MG! For all you skeptics out there, Music Gorilla does everything they say they will do. The only thing you have to lose is the record label that never heard your music. Blessings to everyone who takes a chance on MG.”
Bridgett Huffhines – Pro Artist Member
“I want to thank you for the opportunity of singing at your showcase.
My set with Music Gorilla was my favorite performance moment of the whole week.”
Rachel Pearl – Basic Artist Member
“Getting the news to play such an amazing showcase was nerve-wracking. When we arrived at the showcase, we were greeted by the Gorilla Crew, the Venue employees, Sound Crew, Other bands and A&R. We have played many shows over the past year and this was the smoothest run and friendliest operation I have seen so far. Thank you to Music Gorilla for all you do for artists.”
Jon Masters Lion in The Mane – Pro Artist Member
“Music Gorilla totally rocks… they hooked up one of my artists with a major coffee company a few years ago and it opened a lot of doors for us. Placement opportunities, charts, showcases, they do it all. I recommend Music Gorilla to all bands looking for exposure and a break!”
Hal B Selzer, HBS Music Mgt.- Pro Artist Member
“…My band has been heard by A&R approximately a dozen times in 3 months. I have yet to find any other website who can provide the opportunity for you to showcase your music live to the industry. As an artist you get personal attention from Music Gorilla personnel. The service is unbeatable and in my opinion there is no better method out there to promote your band.”
Tish Meeks – 3 KISSES – Pro Artist Member
“Hey guys once again thank you for the opportunity to play on your showcase we had a blast and we hope you enjoyed our set!…Thank you again and we hope to hear from you soon…Scoundrels”

“Music Gorilla has been absolutely wonderful for our band. By having us play their New York City showcase at Piano’s, we were able to generate interest from some labels and A&R that are currently waiting on our new recordings. We were also able to get some much needed feedback from Epic Records. Music Gorilla truly helps you figure out where you stand with information you need to get to the next level. Thanks for everything Music Gorilla!!”
2nd Day Crush – Pro Artist Member
“We had a great show. Music Gorilla ran an excellent event. Our backline was solid and so was the front of house sound. That is something you don’t always get at a festival showcase.”
Squint – Basic Artist Member
“We’ve had an awesome time getting to know the team at MusicGorilla. Over the past few years, MusicGorilla has given us a number of great opportunities that have put us in front of music lovers and industry folk alike. We look forward to seeing what other avenues will open in the future with MusicGorilla’s help.
Cody Beebe and the Crooks – Basic Artist Member
“Music Gorilla was the best festival I’ve played so far. Great people and pro sound.
Thanks for including me this year.”

“We want to thank Lawrence [and Music Gorilla] for inviting us to perform at the showcase and for putting together a great event. We had a blast! Thanks so much.”

“MG.com gave us the opportunity to actually play in front of a real living, breathing A&R rep which is MG living up to its promise of being able to “play it for the labels”. The fact that the CEO’s of the site are always nice, personable and always reachable by phone is a plus, the fact that they will take the time to talk to you for as long as you need them is going above and beyond the call of duty, which most other websites promise, but never deliver. 3 Cheers for MusicGorilla.com!”
