Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After earning a music degree, Brandon Shaw was forced to answer the question, "Now what?" As a bass player who doesn't write original music, the path to a music career seemed unclear for him (for me? This feels weird to write in third person). Then Brandon discovered the world of Freelance Musicians... yeah, this is weird, how bout I just talk normal? What's up. It's me, Brandon, the guy that wrote the book you're reading about. If you're like me, you've studied music, you love it, and you'd like to make a career out of it, but you don't know where to start. Maybe you've read some other music business books but they don't really apply to what you do as a musician because you don't write music and you aren't trying to be an artist. If that's the case, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! In this book I explore the world of Freelance Musicians. I break down everything I've learned over the past 10+ years, plus I interview 10 musicians who do a wide variety of things under the umbrella of music. We dive into the specifics of their work, their advice, and their lives. They may not be household names, but they're everywhere: musicians making an honest living by doing something that they love. The musicians interviewed in this book have worked with people like Mariah Carey, Andy Grammer, Idina Menzel, Macklemore, Aloe Blacc, St. Vincent, Avicci, Adam Lambert, Nik West, Jason Mraz, Adam Lambert, Gavin DeGraw, Fifth Harmony, Colbie Caillat, Cody Simpson, Daredevil on Netflix, Michael Buble, Kanye West, Kurt Elling, Conan, Hillary Duff, P!nk, and more! "From beginner to seasoned pro, Startup Musician has something for everyone. This is the practical advice you need to take your career to the next level. With a perfect blend of humor and education, Startup Musician is easy to pick up and hard to put down. Highly recommended!" - David Maemone (Keys - Gavin DeGraw, Fifth Harmony) "There's no guide on how to build a successful career in music. However Brandon's practically and knack in explaining the process is about as close as you'll get to a guide." - Eman (Drums - Andy Grammer, Cody Simpson) "Brandon has a very unique way on combining humor with a passion for inspiring this generation of musicians and the next. I've found this book to be very insightful, informative and entertaining." - Markay Fairley (Keys - Nas) "This book touches on not only practical gig things, but also the musician's mindset. we are NOT the gig that we play and the attention we get by ASSOCIATION from that gig is not who we really are when the big lights turn off. The old boss said it best.....BE HUMBLE!" - John Whitt (Keys - Kendrick Lamar, Miguel) "Brandon's writing is knowledgeable, practical and hilarious, but what's most impressive is who Brandon is: a full time musician (bassist, DJ, music director, writer etc...), husband, father and friend. Take a week out of your life to learn from someone who's living the dream." -David Brunelle (Guitar - JJ Lin, Fifth Harmony)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the early decisions that can make or break startup ventures Often downplayed in the excitement of starting up a new business venture is one of the most important decisions entrepreneurs will face: should they go it alone, or bring in cofounders, hires, and investors to help build the business? More than just financial rewards are at stake. Friendships and relationships can suffer. Bad decisions at the inception of a promising venture lay the foundations for its eventual ruin. The Founder's Dilemmas is the first book to examine the early decisions by entrepreneurs that can make or break a startup and its team. Drawing on a decade of research, Noam Wasserman reveals the common pitfalls founders face and how to avoid them. He looks at whether it is a good idea to cofound with friends or relatives, how and when to split the equity within the founding team, and how to recognize when a successful founder-CEO should exit or be fired. Wasserman explains how to anticipate, avoid, or recover from disastrous mistakes that can splinter a founding team, strip founders of control, and leave founders without a financial payoff for their hard work and innovative ideas. He highlights the need at each step to strike a careful balance between controlling the startup and attracting the best resources to grow it, and demonstrates why the easy short-term choice is often the most perilous in the long term. The Founder's Dilemmas draws on the inside stories of founders like Evan Williams of Twitter and Tim Westergren of Pandora, while mining quantitative data on almost ten thousand founders. People problems are the leading cause of failure in startups. This book offers solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Startup language, culture and strategy--once seen as enemies to the music business--have permeated artists' careers and exerted significant influence over their creative decisions. From Kanye West's The Life of Pablo as "entertainment software" to Drake's meme-friendly video for "Hotline Bling" as "open source code," some of the music industry's biggest celebrities today are openly embracing tech rhetoric and strategy to inform their creative decisions. Tech companies like Napster, Spotify, and Facebook have exerted a significant influence on how artists market and promote their music. But what happens when artists begin to treat themselves as the technology? How does pop culture shift when artists start framing their success and popularity as an entrepreneurial and engineering problem, not just as a cultural or aesthetic problem? Using several actionable case studies across the past 50 years, from David Bowie to 3LAU, this book takes a deep-dive into the music written of, by, and for startup culture--and how this burgeoning creative scene is changing the meaning of artistry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Music Production is the first book to comprehensively analyze and describe the role of the music producer in creating successful music recordings. Now in its fourth edition, it is the definitive guide to the art and business of music production. Author and producer Richard James Burgess distills this complex field by defining the distinct roles of a music producer.The first part of the book outlines the underlying theory of the art of music production. The second focuses on the job's practical aspects, including training, getting into the business, and--most importantly--the musical, financial, and interpersonal relationships producers have with artists and their labels. The book is packed with insights from successful music producers, ranging from the beginnings of recorded sound to today's chart-toppers and across genre lines. It features many revealing anecdotes, encompassing both the daily and overarching career-related challenges that a producer faces. Burgess addresses the changes in the nature of music production brought about by technology and, in particular, the millennial shift that has occurred with digital recording and distribution. His lifelong experience in the recording industry as a studio musician, artist, composer, producer, manager, and marketer, combined with his extensive academic research in the field, brings a unique breadth and depth of understanding to the topic.
