ABOUT THE BOOK

   

The dynamics of the music industry have changed dramatically. Musicians now recognize that a majority of artists who have record deals don't make money or have longevity. Many are proving that they no longer must depend on a record label to have a career with their music. Indie music guru Daylle Deanna Schwartz believes that musicians can earn a full time living, IF they develop their talent and commit to working hard.

Why let someone else choose the direction for your music or tell you how to look? Why pay a record label back for the cost of recording your album out of your small royalties and still not own the master? Most indie musicians won't be rock stars but they don't care, as long as music is their day job!

I Don't Need a Record Deal! is a comprehensive guide for empowering those who want to make a living from their musical talents. Daylle provides tools for developing a satisfying career, with or without a record deal, with directions for finding almost every possible way to earn a musical income, including:

•  How to take touring to the next level

•  Performance opportunities that pay

•  Alternative ways to turn your musical talent into cash

•  Licensing music for film, TV, advertising, ringtones, videos, etc.

•  Marketing a CD

•  Touring and licensing music internationally

•  Doing effective street promotion

•  Getting media attention.

I Don't Need A Record Deal! is a road map to building a career by developing musical talent to a profitable level. Daylle presents concrete resources for creating a business around music in order to become a musician without a day job. The music industry can be conquered independently. Artists don't have to get desperate. They can walk away from bad record deals because they have choices. It's time to establish a personal declaration of independence for creating a long-term music career!

Over 150 people - successful major label artists who've chosen to be independent, successful indie artists, and music industry professionals - contributed their experiences and insight to this invaluable guide for surviving and thriving in today's music business by developing an independent music career.
