So you’re an aspiring singer songwriter or you’ve just had an idea to form a group with a bunch of your friends and you want and need to know how to launch your career in this business they call show business. It’s vitally important to ensure from the very start that you have your affairs in order. From the outside the music business, with all it’s apparently beautiful and cool people, buzzwords, in-phrases and jingo can appear quite daunting; but the reality is that from the inside it’s quite basic and very simple.

This book discusses the various professionals you’ll come into contact with and what exactly they should be doing for you. Why do you need a music publisher for instance when you’ve already got a record company? Do you really need a manager when you’ve already got a great lawyer and then the big one, yes you know you need an agent and you’ve already got one, thank you very much, but why do you also need a promoter?

We’ll discuss where all your income will come from - providing of course you enjoy some degree of success. And show you where all your hard earned cash will disappear to by discussing the kind of deals people will offer you - and what kind of commission you should expect to pay for the privilege of working with them. There are even a few suggestions as to how to put your own personal dream team together.

This book presents you with the information for you to make a start in the music business either as an artist or on the business side. All your options are laid out to you and some of the short cuts are explained. Along the way are a few tales and stories about the performers who walked that long and winding road before you.
