Indie Advice on musical careers,

Bruce covers areas like networking and getting involved in certain organizations. He deals with licensing your music for film and television. He also gets into one of the hottest areas of licensing these days, putting your music into video games.
Pitching your music, getting the right amount of publicity and the types of record sales needed to succeed are all elements of the book that provide great insight. If you are contemplating a career in music at all, this book is something you should read first. It has a whole bunch of information about the music industry and how to survive in it. Whether you become an act represented by a major label, sign on with an indie label or try to truly do it yourself, this book will provide insight that you won't find anywhere else.
