Confessions of a Record Producer: How to Survive the Scams and Shams of the Music Business - Softcover
Synopsis
This enlightening book is not about how the music business should work, but how it does work. Industry insider, Moses Avalon tells it like it is - how producers dip into budgets, artists steal songs, lawyers write contracts in code - and shows readers how to survive these and other unfortunate situations. Deconstructing actual major-label record deals, Avalon dissects each party's involvement and offers perspective on their actual roles, how much they get paid, and what's really on their agendas. Engineers, managers, producers, artists, labels, and lawyers each take their turn in the hot seat. Avalon also outlines realistic alternatives for newcomers, such as "baby" production deals and vanity labels. This third edition includes new insights for indie artists, such as tips on independent A&R and digital-distribution scams.
