Should I use social media...? NEED OPINIONS PLEEEASE! :)?

Don't trust what you see on TV. Record companies won't even listen to you unless you're pretty well established. To range what 'established' means, they usually scope social media. So yes, you should get out there and do some networking. For something like this, stay away from facebook. You should look into Tumblr, and Twitter. With twitter it's easiest to get a large number of followers due to the low impact of actually following someone. With Tumblr you can release images, videos, and even run it like a blog.

The most I suggest you do on Facebook is register your page, (so no one else can) so you can start to accumulate 'likes'. But, you SHOULD snatch up accounts (when you choose a name) from every social media outlet. You never know what you'll need in the future, and it helps if all your names are in unison.
