Many years ago I read a book that has turned up to be an invaluable tool for me as I tread the music industry waters.  It was written by a guy who is a big-time music attorney. His name is Donald Passman. The book is called, “Everything You Need to Know About the Music Industry.” It is an awesome book if you are looking to pursue any sort of business with your music.

If you are a band, solo artist, songwriter or musician there are parts of the book that would apply directly to you. It is a good idea to know as much about all of the aspects of the industry as you can.

Many of the emails I get from people are artists looking for record deals.  I assume that many of these people do not really understand what a record deal is. This book explains it in a very detailed way, and it may change the way you think about your music career.
