INDEPENDENCE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

Book excerpt: INDEPENDENCE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY - A complete guide to assist with the development of Independent music creators, my gift to the South African music industry. More than six years in the making, finally, we have made it happen. Many people know me as a music promoter and artist, but I have a deep passion for music education and helping independent artist who needs guidance. My hope is for this book to assist and simplify how the music business works from the perspective of an independent artist. This third edition is different from the previous two, we have added five new chapters that are core fundamental topics independent music creators need clarity and education on. I also hope that this book will help you more and allow you to have a more hands-on approach to your career as an artist. This book is my way of giving power to music creators and I hope it will be the key to your success and help you grow and be able to achieve your dreams as an artist. - Innocent Shezi
