Too many artists are unhappy once they get a record deal. Artist development is rare. This new edition focuses on taking your music seriously as a business and gives musicians resources to develop a career and make money on the road to a record deal. Daylle begins by asking readers if they'd rather make money from their music or be a poor signed artist. She explains why developing a career is the best way to attract a more lucrative record deal. Labels prefer signing acts with an engine already running, so they can add fuel to it.Talent with a cold engine doesn't cut it these days. Daylle wants her readers to make money from their music on the road to a record deal and provides MANY resources for achieving that. This new edition emphasizes a career in music as more important than a record deal. Daylle encourages musicians to focus on developing their craft and finding ways to get exposure for their music. It includes 5 new chapters to help advance a career. Some of the highlights are: * treating your music as a business In addition:The Real Deal contains advice from dozens of successful rcording artists such as Shawn Mullins, Jerry Jeff Walker, Chuck D, Pat Green, Fisher, the Roots and LeAnn Rimes; record label heads such as Bruce Lundvall, president of jazz and classics, Capitol Records, Michael Caplan, senior vice president of A & R, Epic Records, Jeff Blue, vice president of A & R, Warner Bros. Records; as well as publicists, managers, booking agents, and entertainment attorneys. The resource section contains valuable information including helpful books, directories, music conferences, trade shows, music business related organizations, and Lawyers in the Arts groups across the country. Here's what industry people are saying about The Real DealWhatever changes are rocking the music business today, artists still want to record their music and reach their fans. Daylle Schwartz knows the "real deal" and wants you to know it too. This book, a true update (not just a new printing with "internet" thrown into a few pages), describes good habits to learn and gives you the tools you need to make them work. The author's writing is so contagious that you'll find yourself exuding her own confidence and professionalism in no time. Learn about e-communicating with your music community, the "preproduction" of a record deal, and the thirty words or less rule. And in this edition Daylle Schwartz may be starting to outgrow the book's subtitle by adding tips on making money from your music beyond a record deal. -- Catherine Moore, Director, Music Business Program, New York University The Real Deal is an incredible resource not only for those who simply aspire to be signed, but for those intent on building a long term career. -- Toni-Ann Marinaccio, Vice President of International, Universal Music I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to an artist in search of a record deal. -- Jeffrey. R. Cohen, Publisher, Music Biz Magazine It's about passion, faith, and diligence. Daylle takes us through the process. -- Phil Ramone, Producer Daylles' book is like having a friend along to explain the in's and out's of the music industry in plain english. Her exceptionally knowledgeable and honest writing, when coupled with your drive, can help you tackle almost any obstacle. -- Alex Vazquez, Salt Lake City, UT Daylle has done an excellent job of capturing the essence of the music business in language and understanding anyone can understand. Her writing is concise and to-the-point. She pulls no punches in telling it like it is and I like that. There are too many details in the music business that can trip you up. Daylle allows music artists the chance to get ahead and not be taken advantage of. She provides the wisdom of a serpent with the words of a dove. Keep writing and speaking! -- Jodee Kulp, Manager, Mo'Angels, Minneapolis, MN "I have read many books pertaining to the music industry over the last 10 years and only one has been able to speak to me in a language that I could apply successfully. Not only was Daylle Deanna Schwartz's "The Real Deal" easy to read and full of information but it was refreshingly motivating. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to understand and succeed in this crazy but wonderful business of music. " -- Stacey Whitton of "WHITTON" , Reno, NV stacey@Partyinc.org I like the way Daylle writes, pulling no punches and leaving nothing to the imagination. One can learn lots from her. The Real Deal is not only educational for those trying to get into the music business, but informative from deep down. There are things in that book that no one else would dare to tell you. Thanks to God and Daylle, I'm going to keep trying. She makes it seem like nothing is impossible. -- Renee Woodruff, Goffstown, NH Gospelpoet@juno.com "The Real Deal is an invaluable resource for musicians. Whether you are a well established act or just beginning, the knowledge and insight that Daylle shares is a precious advantage in a competitive business. Overrun with rumors, myths and hear-say, the music industry can be confusing and intimidating. Daylle does an excellent job of separating fact from fiction and in doing so presents her readers a clear path to success." -- Josh Patrick, of Standard Candle, Birmingham, AL "The Real Deal is an empowering eye-opener for anyone in the music business. Not only do I look to this book for practical advice for my own booking agency, I look to it for strength. Daylle's own story of soaring to the top despite all opposition is inspiring not only to women but to everyone trying to make it in this business." -- Sibyl Walker, M.A.D. Promotions and Booking, Waco, TX Badfit777@aol.com
