All You Need to Know About the Music Business by Donald S. Passman,
If you call yourself an independent recording artist and you never heard about this book… i don’t know what to tell you . 😂📚
Making the music is only half the job. You need to understand the business, contracts, publishing, royalties, rights, and how to protect your work.
One book teaches you the music business.
The other teaches you the contracts behind the music.
Because being independent doesn’t mean doing everything yourself — it means knowing what you’re getting yourself into.
Create the art. Learn the business. Protect the legacy. 🎙️📖💼

This second book I got from a awesome woman that gave a speech about contracts, lynette brown
You know I’ve always blew up hearing this quote. But coming to age I realize more and more how true and severe the fact is; when we get lazy and expect everyone else to do the work that we need to do to be successful. If we’re gonna be successful into anything we must become a student of debt, whichever we’re trying to master. And therefore it takes learning and humility.
