This review is from: Going Pro: Developing a Professional Career in the Music Industry (Paperback)
i got the book in a decent amount of time. price was ok. i dont agree with everything he states in the book mostly about if you have a bandmember with a boyfriend/girlfriend, or husband/wife replace them. i understand what hes saying, but that is a stupid reason to fire a band member. but whatever im just starting the book

This review is from: Going Pro: Developing a Professional Career in the Music Industry (Paperback)
Ok, so you're an aspiring musician, you have released a couple of underground albums and you have a steady but small fan base. If you just don't want to stop at semi-recognition then this book is your guide to stardom. Designed and aimed at small time musicians and novices this book is a simple guide to a complex future, a future that will not come unless you're properly informed and prepared with all the latest information. This book provides exactly that information along with some interesting examples of professional careers.
