This was a great informational book giving interesting concepts, as to many of our thinking that most times hold us back from becoming a Six-Figure Musician. David Hooper spelled out a great deal of facts that would allow the active, or even an inactive individual to get the ball rolling in their music career, or business. More importantly, if I am not mistaken, being famous is great, but making an income stream in the music business is an ultimate accomplishment to help in getting to be an Six-Figure Musician. I've had the book for sometime, and am glad that I did listen to it when I did. I listened to it in my car to-n-from work. Was done in less than a week. Yes, I plan to listen to it again. I believe the Audio Edition would be beneficial to those with a busy, or drives long distances to work. Enjoy, I do recommend this book to anyone looking to just "START DOING SOMETHING TOWARDS THEIR MUSIC CAREER" to get to the Six-Figure Musician level.

This book has been the singularly most helpful piece of literature on the business of music that I have ever read (and believe me, I have read A LOT.

If you're anything like me (an innate researcher who, when determined to do something, reads every book on the subject) you've probably become a little jaded by the massive amount of un-helpful information targeted to musicians. I can't tell you how many books I have thrown across the room in disgust when it became clear that a) the author had no idea what they were talking about and were stuck in a business model that died pretty much 20 years ago or b) the book was really more like a guide to make some money from your music hobby rather than how to create a passion driven career.

Thankfully, this book is up to date in it's understanding of how the industry works, and offers many timeless tips that will continue to be effective no matter what the next trend is.

It is also a guide on how to have a serious career in music that supports your goals. None of this namby pamby day job crap.

Everything that you need to know to get started is in this book: from how to manage your time and set achievable goals, to scripts to use on stage to promote yourself (as well as going into the psychology of why what works, works.) By the end of the book you'll have a better understanding of where your money will need to come from, how to make it, and how to re-invest it in yourself to make more.

More than that, though, most of the marketing ideas are creative, fun, and are focused on creating and maintaining quality relationships rather than blasting the unwitting public and your unsuspecting facebook followers with constant updates and show flyers.

If you are serious about making a career for yourself in the music business, then this book is an absolute necessity.

Born with Book

This is a book every musician (and anyone who works with musicians) should read

I've only read through Chapter 4 so far, but having worked in the music industry (albeit not at a record label) and with friends who are actively working as musicians, I have a basic sense about how things work and frankly it was great to see someone else put forth many things I've said for years.

Especially the role of the big labels and some of the mistakes they've made.
That being said, David Hooper does not discourage artists from pursuing recording contracts with labels - instead, he nicely lays out the pros and cons based on what the artist's goals are. He's encouraging without being a know-it-all - as in promoting one way as the only way. Instead, he focuses on an artist being authentic to his/her vision and forging a path that remains true to that vision; finding what works for you rather than relying on the "cookie-cutter" mentality and taking control of your own musical destiny.

Much of what Mr. Hooper has to say is absolute common sense (and, if I'm being honest, is good advice for anyone regardless of the industry you work in.) You have to be willing to put in the work and take responsibility for the outcome. He sets out an outline of the 7 qualities you'll need to be a success in the music industry and gives great examples using specific artists and their own unique circumstances. Anyone can be successful, but much of it comes down to their own definition of success and the level of commitment they're willing to make in order to see it happen.

I say this is a book for those who work with musicians, too, because it gives a good overview of the music industry (at least in the first four chapters) ways in which it has changed, and how those changes can work in the artist's favor. A good understanding of the ever-changing environment is a must and Six-Figure Musician definitely provides that.
