Customer Reviews

Artist Management for the Music Business
This is a great no-nonsense "how-to" book about the business of managing recording artists. I loved the way the author assumed no prior knowledge of this business. I've been an artist manager and booking agent, but I got a lot out of this book. I urge any young band or solo artist to get this book and follow the author's advice. Reasonable price, meat 'n' potatoes information, and no fluff -- this is a great book!

To The Point
This book goes straight to the point and gives the information that any prospective artist manager needs to be successful in such a competitive business. I will use this book as a reference for years to come and so will anyone else who is getting started in the music management industry.
