If you have any questions or need help with the sign-up/submission process, please contact us.

ATTENTION: Primary Elements has transitioned to a private service for an indefinite period of time while we contemplate upgrading the service. We are no longer accepting or reviewing new artist material. If you have submitted material in the past, rest assured that we will not use your material without contacting you if/when we decide to resurrect the service. We will continue to represent existing artists' material for direct licensing unless you would prefer we not. Thank you for all your hard work over the years and we look forward to working with you again some day soon! —Mark Lindsey & Pe Partners

 

Only 5 Simple Steps to Sign-Up as a Pe Artist ... For FREE!

Announcements:

The Artist Agreement last changed on 10/20/10

Note: We are not accepting any tracks that have been submitted to GoDigital Media Group or that have been listed on another music licensing service that has submitted their inventory to GoDigital, because of serious complications it might cause our clients on video sharing services like YouTube, etc.

Our licenses have changed and are part of our Artist Agreement.

2 • Track Submissions - New as of 10/20/10
 

Web

Please use our Artist Media Upload Tool to upload your 16-bit/44.1kHz (or higher) track masters.  When possible, please include the artist name and title of your track in the filename. (ex. "Artist Name - Title of the Track.wav")  We recommend zipping a handful of files at a time and using multiple file slots in the upload tool, rather than creating a single giant zip with all of your files.

Note: You can upload files up to 240MB each, and a total of 640MB for each upload session (start a new upload for additional files).  For larger submissions, please consider using the Anon FTP or CD methods below.  You can also use a service such as YouSendIt.com, Box.net or TransferBigFiles.com, etc.  Send these transfer files to artists@primaryelements.com.

You can also upload a document with any track META information (title, duration, genre, description, etc.), but this additional information is not required.


Anonymous FTP

server:  ftp.primaryelements.com
username:  anonymous@primaryelements.com
password:  (leave blank or use the username again)

(please make sure your name is on the zip files so we know who they belong to)


CD

You may also mail us your full-res (16-bit / 44.1kHz) music masters on Audio CD or a Data CD-R/CD-ROM.  If sending a CD-R/ROM, please format your files as uncompressed .AIF or .WAV files and make sure you include your name, email address and the title of each track in your submission package.

If you want your CD back, you must contact us first to make arrangements.

Send Submission CDs To:

Primary Elements Artist Submission
5318 E 2ND ST #352

We will evaluate your material and let you know (by email) if we would like to represent your tracks on the service (more info below).

Contact us if you want to email a few sample mp3's before making your formal submission and we'll have a quick listen.

Please move on to Step 3 now

Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 | Step 4 | Step 5

4 • Artist Agreement & Account Info (Download PDF)
 

Please complete our online Pe Artist Agreement & Account Info form.

After reviewing your submission, agreement and account info, we'll email you a list of the tracks we would like to represent on Pe along with your official Pe Artist ID.

Please be patient and wait for a response before moving to Step 5, as we get quite a few submissions.

If you submitted material in the past and have since changed your email address, please contact us with your updated info.

Please wait to hear back from us before moving on to Step 5



Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 | Step 4 | Step 5

5 • Track/CD Acceptance
 

After you receive our acceptance email listing the tracks we would like to represent and CD Collections we want to build with your tracks, please reply and confirm your acceptance.  We will then provide pricing information for any CD Collections, which you will need to reply and approve to before we can post your tracks.

Upon acceptance, we will prepare your tracks and post them to the service ASAP. This may take some time, but we'll email you as soon as your music is live!

Now Sit Back and Let the Money Roll In (we hope) as Your Music is Licensed World-Wide on Pe!
