Craigslist can be tricky. I would say troll soundcloud, facebook, twitter, vimeo....there are a lot of creative platforms out there now. You can hear what some other people are already doing and reach out and try to connect if you think they would be a good fit. You should also have some sort of account or personal website with your own music so they can in turn hear what you have to offer. It's not a one way street afterall. But it is a delicate process and it takes time and energy....and often luck.
