If you wanted to make it in the music industry, most people would say that the chances are slim. The business itself is a harsh world where not only do you need to be good to make it big, but you need to know the right people, and be in the right place at the right time. Well no more!
With Kyle Morrison Lovely’s new book “How to Rock: The Ultimate Guide to Making it Big in the Music Industry” you can learn how to succeed as a musician from someone who has been there and done that. As the lead vocalist in the band Shattersphere, Kyle is one who can testify from experience what it took to make it. In his new book, he shares his experiences with you, and teaches you what it really takes to make it to the top. The book doesn’t say that getting noticed in the industry will be easy, but it does cover what you will need to do, the mind set you will need to have, and really it walks you step by step through the different aspects of the music industry.
An Excerpt from “How to Rock”
“When I was first starting out in the music business, I had many assumptions about how to make it to the top. My Disneyland fantasies where quickly annihilated by the harsh realities of the music biz. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but I learned how to adapt to the ever-changing world of music. I replaced the old assumptions with the new requirements. I have learned so much about this business over almost a decade, and many of my lessons were learned the hard way; costing me time, money, headaches, heartaches, and tons of energy. I sacrificed a lot during my journey including girlfriends, friends, college parties, my retirement account, my life savings, and much more. The glory of the music business doesn’t come free of charge; there are prices to pay financially, emotionally, physically, and mentally. Your strength as a human being will be put to the test in ways you never thought possible, and they will come without warning. There are prices to pay for wrong answers and bad decisions. I wrote this book to minimize those prices for you and to help you pass some of the tests you will inevitably endure. Think of this book as your all around “discount” for the many lessons you could have learned the hard way.“
When you get your copy of How to Rock, the first thing you’ll notice is that it is quite a long book. It is 354 pages long; divided into 3 sections and 46 chapters that walk you through many different aspects of making it as a band. The book covers more than I could ever fit into one review but suffice it to say that Kyle teaches the business side of the music industry, and he teaches it well. The entire book is laid out in plain, easy to understand, language that not only shares his experiences in the industry, but also teaches you how to use that experience to your own advantage. The book covers ideas like:
- The reality of the music business. Too many musicians are stuck with the
wrong mentality. - How to create strategic alliances to help you on the road to success.
- Personal development, and growth as a band
- Making the most of rehearsal and live performances
- Selling yourself and your band
- How to create an album that will help you to get noticed
- So much more…
Not only will the book teach you success, it will also teach you how to avoid the major pitfalls that send most bands to their demise. This is one book that I am definitely recommending to anyone who is interested in the making it in the business, and even just to those who are interested in the subject. Kyle’s easy to writing style, and plain language teaching methods make this THE book for learning the business side of music.
