The Real Music Industry is the audiobook you need. Meaning you, the artist. Think about it, how many audiobooks or workbooks have provided you a blueprint on how to activate your music career? I wrote this book out of experience - good and bad experiences - but I persevered, and you will too. We sometimes fake the funk to skip the line, if that even makes sense. I knew I was talented and wanted to be heard. Frustration caused me to pretend to be something I was not.

Don't bother!
This book is basically a glossary of the music industry. It explains all the terms and players in the music industry. If that's what you want then fair enough. However, the title states 'make money from music' Unfortunately the book doesn't explain what to do? How to go about things? In the current climate for Unsigned band. The narrator is robotic. I've not learned anything to propel my band forward.
