Many artists and bands want to know not only how to get signed up and get a record deal but also how to avoid the many pitfalls along the way. This interactive CD-ROM tells you all you need to know about getting that all important record deal, from making the right demo, styling your look and selecting your name to getting the right photos, video and packaging the whole thing to appeal to the record companies. It also advises how to copyright your work, what to look for in the contract and how to avoid getting ripped off.
As people in all walks of life with more than half a brain will tell you one of the most valuable commodities in life is knowledge. The more you have the better you do in your chosen profession. If you haven't reached your goal in the music business then you must ask yourself one simple question. Am I talented?
If the answer is yes then the only reason you haven't got where you want to is knowledge of how the music business works. Sadly they don't teach this at school. Music Business Bastards can give you that key to success. At just £5.00 the author gives you the opportunity to acquire this knowledge.
THIS is the information you've been looking for, all wrapped in ONE PLACE! Get signed and get that record deal NOW!
In the 70's the Bay City Rollers sold 120 million records yet ended up earning just a few thousand pounds instead of at least twenty million pounds each. 40 years on they are still getting ripped off and most of the band are destitute. Sadly this is not the exception to the rule and thousands of household names now find themselves working at fast food restaurants wondering 'Where did it all go wrong and where did all the money go?'
A combination of naivety and arrogance is usually to blame. Let's deal with the latter first. I have met thousands of bands who think their talent and their songs are the best thing since sliced bread. They often think that because they rate themselves so highly people will be tripping over themselves to sign them up and it will be just a few weeks before they are number one in the charts.
Apart from the fact that if they were lucky enough to get signed it would be almost a year before they were put on the release schedule, this whole thought process is flawed and unrealistic. Many bands forget that at any one time in the music industry there are tens of thousands of other acts out there trying to get a deal. Which brings us back to naivety. Without knowing the score, you are unlikely to make it.
Suppose you couldn't swim and somebody asked you to swim 100 yards with no lessons. You wouldn't be able to do it because you'd never been taught how. You may have learned how to play an instrument or sing but which school did you go to to learn all about the music business?
In order to achieve your desired result you need to learn all the tricks of the trade and succeed at every stage of your career, from live work to recording to getting a record deal and beyond. You need to beat the opposition in every aspect to make sure it's you and not the other person who gets that all important deal.
That's where Music Business Bastards comes in. You get to learn every step of the music industry and what to avoid for less than the cost of a packet of guitar strings, drum sticks or one singing lesson. Why is it that an artist can see the logic of paying out for those things only to struggle for years afterwards because they felt they knew it all and didn't need any extra knowledge?
So.......
1. Rather than playing all the usual 'pay to play' places and ending up either losing money or being ripped off through door ticket and PA costs wouldn't you like to know how to get a few decent paying gigs?
2. Your chances of getting a record deal would be vastly improved if you arrived at a record company with a great name and image, photos and maybe a video, along with your great songs, while your rivals still don't have a clue about such things and just send in their demo which gets lost among all the others.
3. If there was only one deal available on a take it or leave it basis would you sign your life away not fully understanding what sort of costs were going to come out of your potential earnings? Or would you prefer some knowledge about what to expect, what to sign and what not to sign?
4. You've seen too many people get stitched up in the press. Wouldn't it be nice to learn how to work the press to your advantage and not suffer the same fate as them?
5. You may only get one shot at a record company hearing your demo. It's worth knowing how to get a great demo made and at a cost you can afford compared to an average demo and being ripped off at over the odds.
If you agree with any the above is then Music Business Bastards has ALL the answers you are looking for plus many many more.
