Great Info for Musicians

Here is an excellent resource for finding all manner of advice regarding the music business. Any baby band or emerging artist has to take care of their own business at least for a while, like it or not. Not knowing the tricks of the trade can really hurt an artist creatively and financially, and in fact has hurt many including some of the most well-known. The Beatles, for one.

Even after an artist has achieved a level of success that warrants having a manager, booking agent, attorney, publicist, business manager, label, publisher, distributor, etc., it’s still important for a musician to understand the business. This can be difficult because business often feels counter-intuitive to a musician’s creativity. But there are literally hundreds if not thousands of horror stories of musicians who just didn’t know any better and got totally screwed because of it.

There are tons and tons of books, blogs and websites that dole out music business advice and tips, but I like this as a real user-friendly and easy to navigate page; and the information is sourced from bona-fide industry pros. I’ve checked out a few of the articles on the page, and so far everything is very thorough and spot on. I highly recommend taking the time to utilize this valuable resource on a continual basis.
