For Immediate Release
MusicBizAdvice.com Debuts July 1
Los Angeles, CA --MusicBizAdvice.com, a
new monthly webzine for aspiring musicians and music industry professionals, makes its
debut Tuesday, July 1.
The webzine, which debuts at 12:01 A.M. Eastern is, in the words of Editor-in-Chief Randi
Reed, "a resource for people at all levels in the industry. It’s for the kid
stuck in a small town who wants to break in but has no idea where to start, and it’s
for the successful musician who needs tips on staying healthy on the road. We want it to
be accessible for them both."
Those with an interest in working behind the scenes will find
MusicBizAdvice.com helpful
as well. "The great thing about our format," says Reed, is that not only do we
provide how-to articles and advice for aspiring artists, we take it a step further by
going behind the scenes. That might be an interview with a video director, recording
engineer, or member of the road crew. Many people who want to get into the industry
don’t necessarily want to be performers, and information on behind-the-scenes careers
can be difficult to find. Providing that information is one of the things I’m most
proud of about MusicBizAdvice.com."
With so many hungry performers out there, one might be tempted to ask if
MusicBizAdvice.com would be best off concentrating on the performance end of the business.
Reed offers this take: "Offering behind the scenes info benefits performers in many
ways. Artists who take the time to learn something about the jobs of the people around
them have a better bargaining position. It’s easier for the artist to express their
needs, and because the artist understands something about the job at hand, there’s
more of a mutual appreciation. That makes for smoother negotiations." Reed continues:
"And—no one wants to thing about it, but even in a successful artist’s
career, there comes a time to think about an alternate career path. Our webzine gives
people the tools to look at a variety of career options. MusicBizAdvice.com is a great
addition to anyone’s music business education."
