The must-have guidebook for self-managed musicians who are starting their journey into the modern music business. Based on the real life experiences of professional guitarist Byron Johnston, Unlocking The Music Business (UTMB) is packed with practical information for getting started in the music industry. Many music business guides, although well written, often miss the fundamental sticking points that hold artists back from progressing in the early days. They focus on selling the dream and telling the story of the lucky one per cent who go on to make eleventy-million dollars and (seem to) appear out of nowhere. UTMB is different. It’s for the 99 per cent of us who are the bands, singers and songwriters that are just starting out. It identifies the common hurdles that we face, then provides proven, workable solutions. Having tackled these challenges himself, the author understands the value of cultivating a confident and motivated mind set when it comes to music. A practical approach to getting gigs, finding fans and writing music, is just part of the journey. UTMB goes beyond these parameters, equipping you with the tools to boost performance confidence and motivation techniques that will help you to move forwards with mastering your craft.
