The Working Musician: The Essentials of the Music Business for New Artists

The internet has given artists the ability to share their music with the world instantly. But many artists jump in without knowing exactly what they're getting into. What resources are available? How have other artists used them? What kind of success can you hope for? What happens when your band breaks up? What happens if your band gets signed? All these questions are addressed in The Working Musician: Essentials of the Music Business for New Artists. Featuring interviews with artists like Timothy Nordwind of OK Go, Chris Arbisi of White Trash, Matthew Taylor of Moses Mayfield and others, this book can help new artists learn about the history of the music business, what resources are out there, how to manage their business, what to know about copyright, and advice from people who have been there.
