The business of urban music!
We've all heard the countless stories of artists working verociously their whole careers in order to gain recognition for their talents, only to die penniless and completely distraught with the music industry. Despite such tales, artists continue to be ripped off every year because they do not understand the technicalities behind what they are getting themselves into! Have no fear, because prominent entertainment attourney, James L. Walker, Jr., Esq., has written a book to help these artists to better navigate the tricky music industry and achieve success in their careers. From signing a recording contract to publishing deals and intellectual property, "The Business of Urban Music," provides anecdotal support from such artists as The LOX and P. Diddy and Diane Warren, seeking to demystify such endeavors. At the end of reading this book, Mr. Walker hopes that each artist is empowered with knowledge to create their own destiny and forge their way in the music business.
As a musician himself, Mr. Walker understands the industry from a variety of standpoints and wishes to champion the artist. Specifically, he has represented such notable clients as Jamie Foxx, Freddie Jackson, Yolanda Adams, and DMX. Having sold 10,000 copies, this book is a must-read for anyone wanting to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Walker's impressive roster of clients or to just obtain a deeper knowledge of the multi-faceted music industry.
