In the last decade, no industry has been through as much upheaval and turmoil as the music industry. It's now a democratic, "DIY" business, and any guide to success in these new waters must be told by someone who's already survived them. Giving today's aspiring musicians the practical tools they need to build and maintain a lifelong career, Herstand has written a tutorial not only on how to accomplish specific tasks--routing a tour, negotiating contracts, getting paid for Spotify and Pandora plays, or even licensing music to commercials, film, and television--but also a manifesto that encourages musicians to pave their own path.
