This book is designed to educate independent artists and upcoming music professionals of the music business steps that should be taken in order for them to start making money from their music, with the understanding that it is the same business that every major recording artist has to handle as well. Through the author's testimony, and by using his own music career as an example, the reader will be educated on the importance of the split sheet, and how registering their music properly with BDS, and their chosen Performing Rights Organization, can and will lead to their first royalty check.
