No other book ever written for the music space has done that. Most books cater to a specific job; engineer, songwriter, producer, etc. This book’s heuristic approach allows it to be for everyone at all stages of success. It gives the direct, no-BS correct answer to conquer every challenge which you will encounter as you climb the ladder towards a successful career.
The 50 questions I tackle were authored by 1000s of readers who have written to me over the decade-long campaign that the Moses Avalon Company has been fighting for artist’s rights. This is the essential, boiled down, need-to-know answers that other books avoid either because they simply do not know the answers, or they are too afraid of offending someone to print it.
This book is made to answer the real questions you have right now… and the sooner you start to use it the sooner you will see greater levels of success in your music career.
