Book Description

April 16, 2010
The Artist's Guide to Success in the Music Business is a detailed analysis of the subjects that all musicians should understand and apply in order to ensure a successful and sustainable career in music. Written from the perspective of a musician who has experienced numerous levels of success, this guide is the result of over a decade of experience in the music business. From production and performance to marketing and career-building, this book instructs artists on how to take the hard-earned lessons of a fellow musician and put them to work in their own careers. Few books currently provide both the spectrum of information needed by someone just starting out in the music business as well as a window onto the complex facets of the industry faced by seasoned professionals.

Review

An artist at any point in his or her journey can't help but learn from Weisman's treatise on success. --Christopher Laird Simmons CEO, Neotrope Entertainment

This book is jam-packed with GREAT tips...some very 'common sense' stuff, and lots of things that would only be known by one who has been there. Nothing can absolutely guarantee success...in music or anything else...but you've provided an excellent roadmap that can surely improve the odds! --Pat Brown, Director of Sales Worldwide and former Director of Artist Relations, Pro-Mark Corporation

Loren is in touch and in charge with his unflinching, real-world strategies on the music business, and the delicious insanity that goes along with it. It's a must-read for those who seek success. --Jon Bermuda Schwartz of The Weird Al Yankovic Band

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff! May 4, 2010
Format:Paperback
Smartly written and full of implementable ideas, from someone who has 'been there, done that'. I am personally using Loren's ideas to help get my own Animal Rescue CD Project out there. I can tell you that what he says makes sense--he definitely knows what he is talking about!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Any aspiring musician who wants to know the reality of what they're getting in to should read this cover to cover, if not commit certain passages to memory. (The parents and partners of those musicians might want to give it a once-over as well.)

This is the 'most used' reference book I have ever owned with volumes of useful information regarding the music business. I continue reviewing the detailed material provided in this book. After working with Loren from a consulting perspective, he is very true to his word and lives by what information he provides through his own personal experiences. Not having a music background, but a business one I can say this book is well worth it's money as we purchased multiple copies and use it in the music business for an independent musician. I am looking forward to seeing what his second book provides! I support Loren's book, business and thought processes. Check him out on Facebook as well for another avenue with practical information to guide you.
