5th Edition - Revised & Updated
Montclair, NJ (April 26, 2016) - For more than 15 years, Confessions of a Record Producer
has exposed the inner workings of the music business and empowered
artists to protect their interests. With inside knowledge and hard
numbers, Moses Avalon reveals the truth of how the industry functions
(or dysfunctions), showing what artists actually make from their "hits"
and how producers, labels, managers, and even the artists' own lawyers
conspire to rip them off.
This is the only music business trade book that:
- Intimately analyzes the differences between ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC
- Compares different types of record deals using real-world math and dollar figures
- Speaks critically about relationships between big industry entities and how they can hurt artists
- Gives the reasoning behind major industry trends and decisions, particularly recent deals with Spotify, Apple, etc.
Fully updated with recent industry developments and the latest scams, Confessions of a Record Producer remains a must for artists who want to survive, thrive, and get their fair share.
