The Professional Musician’s Legal Companion

The book I chose to read is titled The Professional Musician’s Legal Companion by Michael A. Aczon. It serves as a motivation management book for the starting out musician. But I feel it also very helpful for anyone who wants to work in the music industry.

Since most aspiring music artists start out managing themselves, this book explains all the basic legal situations that will be brought up before and after a manger is hired. It basically explains all the situations and terms and manager need to know. The way the book is organized makes for a very easy read. At the end of every chapter the author gives a hypothetical situation so the reader can understand how the chapters’ information can be put to practical use. Since the book was published in 2005, the information is still very relevant as well.

This is a motivational book and is a great read and a great resource for anyone interested in the music business and especially artist management. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone interested in music management.
