Hi Jackie,

There are several ways to get discovered. Smme ways:
myspace.com
youtube.com
taxi.com
uplaya.com
craigslist.org
local talent contest
songwriter contest
publishing deals
who you know
the list can go on.

I would recommend putting together a demo to send to publishing companies that you would like to sign a publishing deal with. (research how to submit demos to publishing companies).

You are in Cali, and EMI is a good one right off hand. Also, consider sending demos to record labels as well. Before doing anything I highly recommend you learn this business, what fees songwriters make, how to negotiate deals, songwriters rights, and how to protect your work. It's more than just a copyright. Avoid mistakes by doing you your research.

I hope this answered your question.
