Average,
This review is from: The Music Business: Career Opportunities and Self-Defense (Paperback)
The music industry is an area where you must always watch your back as more and more people try to make it big and step on your dreams and goals to fulfill theirs. A decent guide that presents ways in which not to get involved on other people's business and get the best out of the efforts you are making to succeed. The book also presents the majority of scams and deceit plans that lawyer and other people have installed for you. A book with a medium structure and a not so easy to understand context, a good buy for the emerging musician, producer, etc.
