This review is from: 14 Qualities of Successful Musicians, Songwriters, and Music Business Professionals (Audio CD)

This CD is WONDERFUL! I have worked directly with David at his Nashville New Music Conference and he is a wealth of knowledge, experience and success.
He does a great job of sharing his concepts by presenting the information clearly, positively, and in an approachable format.
The CD helped me to discover new avenues for furthering my career through great ideas like building a support team to help me to promote my music.
It's worth it :)

This is a must have for amateurs AND professionals! David urges us to take off the blinders and see the true state of this industry. The day after reading "14 Qualities", I walked into a wine/cofee bar and scored a $300 gig for this coming Sunday! As an independant artist, I'm starting to realize that I must create opportunities every day....This book must be kept close by for reference, it just has TOO much great info for me to digest at once! David takes it to the streets with specific ways to reach your goals, his advice is universal and works for anyone. Thanks for getting me off the couch!
