No matter what style of music you are into... "The Music Biz" is... An Informative and Inspirational, straight-to-the-point book, Written in Easy-to-Understand Languagewith the sole purpose of getting You in the [right] door - and up the stairs! Simply, "How to Get in, Survive & Succeed in the Music Business - Without Getting Ripped Off!" A great picture of how the Music Biz operates - and how a person can operate in it - and succeed. Over 315 pages of text, split into 4 sections, putting major emphasis on all aspects of Songwriting and Publishing; Performing; Recording; and the Business and Contractual side of Music. "I have literally lived this book, working in the roles of many of the people I will talk about, including Singers, Songwriters, Musicians, and Producers on the Creative Side, as well as Managers, Publishers, Production and Indie Record Labels on the business side of the Music Industry. Each has a different job, yet each has the same goal: Success in the Music Industry. "Starting out as a Singer-Songwriter/Recording Artist, hands on experience over a long period of time has taught me a lot about the Music Industry, and so have the experiences of those who have sought my help in their careers. As I spent more and more time helping others, I found myself in a kind of career sideline, sharing my knowledge with the aim of helping save people great amounts of wasted time, money and aggravation. I found that I thoroughly enjoyed this 'work', and as things kept leading from one to another, I conceived the idea of this Book. "I have followed the advice I will frequently give you in this book: 'Keep it Simple.' This is my attempt to do in print what I have tried to do in life: cut through the double-talk, and get down to basics in the Music Business. I realize there is a kind of "mystique" about the Music Business in the minds of most people. People are always looking for "magic" and talking about the "overnight success" - which is usually the result of years of learning and "paying dues." If removing the mystique makes it less magical for you, I'm sorry, but I feel you'll thank me later. When you find you can get twice as much done on a fraction of the money, and begin to realize how much you've learned, you'll very happily understand that - the place for mystique is in the MUSIC! NOT the Business! "Finally, this is not a 'brag book.' The subject is not me, nor my exploits, but You, and how You can Get In, Survive, and Succeed in the Music Business - Without Getting Ripped Off! " by David J. Spangenberg [aka Professor Pooch] Music Business Career Guidance Educator/Author, Consultant, Mediator, Entertainment Contract Specialist
