Customer Reviews
An amazing 10/10 read for any aspiring Music Artist
I'd come across the name 'Wendy Day' only once or twice before buying this book, due to my love of Tupac and his link with Wendy.
Since I started to produce and write songs around 5 years ago I have spent endless hours, weeks, months and now years tied up in deals that have only ever "Jerked me" and tied me down.
Had I of read this book before hand, I can honestly say I'd have been equipped with all the knowledge I'd have ever needed to avoid the messy situation I'm now in, entirely!
The book is clear to understand and is a real eye opener to what lies ahead of you in your journey to success.
I like many walked into this industry from the wrong angle. Make sure your not making the same mistakes.
I'm not the most educated of people when it comes to law and have in the past signed contracts based on false promise due to my poor understanding of what was actually happening at that time. These complicated issues have had their complexity removed in this book and that allowed me to fully grasp for the first time what those things actually meant...
This book is an absolute 'BIBLE' to anyone even thinking about entering the music industry and is an investment in your own knowledge base as a person.
It details large amounts of crucial information regarding contracts, royalties, various record deal types and so on. I can't find any aspect of the issues I'm now facing that aren't covered in depth in this book!
If every musician / Artist and so on, had this information to hand at a time prior to making business based decisions on their music. They would certainly have their eyes wide open and therefore be in an informed position and in the best place possible to avoid the snakes in the industry that bite everyone they can! Including myself!
The music industry has way, way, way too many people that will 'Jerk' you rather than come true with their promises.
Make sure your wise enough to see them coming, buy this book!
Thanks to Wendy for her continued efforts to make the industry a fairer place for all.
A new fan and supporter. James
