Let�s face it. For those of us that dream of being a professional recording artist, the odds are usually stacked against us. Stumbling blocks are many, including our own lack of self-confidence in our talents, family members and friends that dismiss the idea that music can actually become a "real job," and teachers who push for traditional further education to churn out more accountants, plumbers, and lawyers.

But Houston-based entertainment attorney, J.S. "Skip" Rudsenske, knows that there are ways to enhance your chance for success when it comes to music as a profession. In fact, he�ll boldly tell people that they really can make a living with music�if they work hard, follow a carefully crafted blueprint, and accept some basic truths about the life path they�re choosing to follow. In his latest book, Music Business Made Simple: A Guide to Becoming a Recording Artist, Rudsenske offers solid career-building advice.

The book is divvied up into bit-sized chapters: Practicing, recording your first demo, creating a promo kit, finding a manager, playing a showcase, and much more. Music Business made Simple is a practical tool for would-be musicians and those who are looking to move their career to the next level. Award-winning independent musician, Pete Droge, wrote the foreword.
