Review Quotes

In a profession where you need every edge you can get, 88 Keys to Music Business Success will help songwriters and others navigate the ever-changing and difficult path to success in the music business.

It's good to have talent and dreams but it's the business in the music business that's going to get you the farthest and keep you there the longest. I'm old enough and have been in this business long enough to know what I'm talking about. This book will be your bible for learning the business in the music business from A to Z.

Mark gives a concise, yet powerful understanding of the overall music industry and the individual opportunities that are unique to all of us.

Mark has created the definitive guide to today's complex and challenging music business, written with all of Mark's renowned expertise, warmth, and wit. An entertaining, patient, and thorough roadmap through the bewildering landscape of today's music scene, it's the one book I would recommend if you want to understand and navigate any aspect of the music industry. Here's the go-to guidebook for any aspiring vocalist, musician, songwriter, publisher, or record producer (or any of the above who would love a refresher course!)

There aren't many ways to stay in the music business without learning it. This book is one of the best I know.

Though this book is impressively comprehensive, beautifully organized and filled with vital, true data, the author has a purpose to inspire and genuinely wants his reader to succeed. This is no coincidence since aside from his being a great communicator and teacher, Mark is also a noted songwriter, publisher, playwright, and producer in his own right. This work is more definitive than most because its author is smart, literate and has "walked the walk." Thank you, Mark, for this extraordinary gift to all of your fellow artists.
