Good overview of Big Music, but...,
This review is from: Music, Money and Success: The Insider's Guide to Making Money in the Music Industry (Music, Money & Success: The Insider's Guide to Making Money in the Music Business) (Paperback)
This book gives an extensive overview of the music industry from the perspective of experienced insiders, with plenty of financial data and examples. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn about the music industry and the financial rewards that come with success. Unfortunately, it dwells on major record labels and hit-producing artists - without really going in to how they got there, "indie" labels, or any guidance for the aspiring musician.

MUSIC, MONEY & COMPREHENSION,
By Gian Fiero (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Music, Money, and Success: The Insider's Guide to Making Money in the Music Industry (Little Book Series) (Paperback)
This dense paperback was written by two brothers who happen to be authorities and specialists in the areas of music licensing. (They also happen to be two of the coolest entertainment attorneys I have met.) Their book gives you a realistic sense of just how much money can be made through licensing, as well as educating you on the many different variables that affect amount and payment you will receive. This is a must have book for anyone who would like to get their material licensed.
