This Business of Artist Management: The Standard Reference to All Phases of Managing a Musician's Career from Both the Artist's and Manager's Point of

This is yet another book I had to buy for my Recording Industry curriculum - you guessed it, an Artist Management class. This book breaks it down in an easy-to-understand manner while also achieving to not come off as a "Artist Management for Dummies" kind of thing. If you're serious about artist management, or just curious to how things work, buy this. It's practical and gives helpful hints on what you'd need at different stages of an artist's career.

The thing is that this book is full of real life situacions. i found it very real.

I have been in music industry business for a while now and I would recommand this piece of art to anyone who's new and seriously wants to become familiar with this industry. Whether you're an artist or manager, this book will help you to understand the basics. I also like the fact that the authors are so honest and give you a real piece of advice if you want to be a successful artist manager, and that is to get education (especially in business). As a recent business graduate it has helped me to be a lot more successful in this industry.

This is an excellent resource book. It gives you all the information you need to know to effectively do your job.
