Unlock the Secrets of the Music Industry with the 10th Edition of 'All You Need to Know About the Music Business'

Matthew A.: I'm using this book as the course reading material for my Survey of Music Business college class. It's a fun read and extremely informative. I recommend buying the physical version of the book if you're going into the music business in order to keep it around as a reference to look back on in the future. It's also an amazing deal!

mjksd22: Wonderful look into the music business. Can be tedious at times, and most of the advice seems to be common knowledge (I.e. don’t treat people like fodder), but overall a great read and insight into the industry.

Hendrik: This book gives you a brought idea of how the entertainment industry works. Mr Passman has a humorous way to write about topics that otherwise would be fairly dry to read.

Omarg: Linguaggio chiaro e informale, senza intaccare minimamente la professionalità dell’autore che anzi riesce a dare un encomiabile sfoggio di erudizione sull’argomento. Un’opera da consultare se volete sapere come funziona il business della musica, anche e soprattutto dal punto di vista legale.

Manuel Hernandez: As a new Manager for @WROSEband, my son's band, and someone with zero background in the music business, this book was a godsend!

Mr. Passman has been in the industry for a LONG time, and he breaks things down here for those of us that need a crash course.

He provides a pretty useful order to read the book (which is just over 500 pages long in its 10th edition), so you can focus on the sections/chapters that are most relevant to your needs.

The only downside to the book is nothing you can't imagine: with industries like music, things are changing quite a bit. Streaming is now how most music is consumed, and that has disrupted the business model quite a bit. There's, for example the advent of Fan Powered Royalties by SoundCloud, which was an ideal at the time he wrote the book (2019), but became a reality in early 2021. But this doesn't take away from the usefulness of the book.

This is, without a doubt, a MUST read for anyone entering the business, and for those who have been in it long enough and want to better understand it.

Isa Orea: Un libro muy ameno, que recopila todo lo necesario para dar los primeros pasos en el negocio musical y con grandes anécdotas que lo hacen muy fácil de leer.
