Daylle
Deanna Schwartz has completely rewritten and
enhanced her classic book, The Real Deal:
How to Get Signed To a Record Label from A
to Z (Billboard Books) to give musicians
a better tool than ever. Too many artists
are unhappy once they get a record deal.
Artist development is rare. This new edition
focuses on taking your music seriously as a
business and gives musicians resources to
develop a career and make money on the road
to a record deal. Daylle begins by asking
readers if they’d rather make money from
their music or be a poor signed artist. She
explains why developing a career is the best
way to attract a more lucrative record deal.
Labels prefer signing acts with an engine
already running, so they can add fuel to it.
Talent with a cold engine doesn’t cut it
these days.
Daylle wants her readers to make money from
their music on the road to a record deal and
provides MANY resources for achieving that.
This new edition emphasizes a career in
music as more important than a record deal.
Daylle encourages musicians to focus on
developing their craft and finding ways to
get exposure for their music. It includes 5
new chapters to help advance a career. Some
of the highlights are:
-
treating
your music as a business
-
making
money from songwriting
-
touring
Europe
-
interviews
with over 25 A & R people at top
record labels
-
finding
the key players for a career in music
-
preparing
an effective presentation
-
getting
seen and heard by the right people
-
getting
a satisfying recording deal
In
addition:
The Real Deal contains advice from dozens of
successful rcording artists such as Shawn
Mullins, Jerry Jeff Walker, Chuck D, Pat
Green, Fisher, the Roots and LeAnn Rimes;
record label heads such as Bruce Lundvall,
president of jazz and classics, Capitol
Records, Michael Caplan, senior vice
president of A & R, Epic Records, Jeff
Blue, vice president of A & R, Warner
Bros. Records; as well as publicists,
managers, booking agents, and entertainment
attorneys.
The resource section contains valuable
information including helpful books,
directories, music conferences, trade shows,
music business related organizations, and
Lawyers in the Arts groups across the
country.
Here's what industry people are saying
about The Real Deal
Whatever changes are rocking the music
business today, artists still want to record
their music and reach their fans. Daylle
Schwartz knows the "real deal" and
wants you to know it too. This book, a true
update (not just a new printing with
"internet" thrown into a few
pages), describes good habits to learn and
gives you the tools you need to make them
work. The author’s writing is so
contagious that you’ll find yourself
exuding her own confidence and
professionalism in no time. Learn about
e-communicating with your music community,
the "preproduction" of a record
deal, and the thirty words or less rule. And
in this edition Daylle Schwartz may be
starting to outgrow the book’s subtitle by
adding tips on making money from your music
beyond a record deal. -- Catherine Moore,
Director, Music Business Program, New York
University
The Real Deal is an incredible resource not
only for those who simply aspire to be
signed, but for those intent on building a
long term career. -- Toni-Ann Marinaccio,
Vice President of International, Universal
Music
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book
to an artist in search of a record deal. -- Jeffrey.
R. Cohen, Publisher, Music Biz Magazine
It's about passion, faith, and diligence.
Daylle takes us through the process. -- Phil
Ramone, Producer
Daylles' book is like having a friend along
to explain the in's and out's of the music
industry in plain english. Her exceptionally
knowledgeable and honest writing, when
coupled with your drive, can help you tackle
almost any obstacle. -- Alex Vazquez,
Salt Lake City, UT
Daylle has done an excellent job of
capturing the essence of the music business
in language and understanding anyone can
understand. Her writing is concise and
to-the-point. She pulls no punches in
telling it like it is and I like that. There
are too many details in the music business
that can trip you up. Daylle allows music
artists the chance to get ahead and not be
taken advantage of. She provides the wisdom
of a serpent with the words of a dove. Keep
writing and speaking! -- Jodee Kulp,
Manager, Mo'Angels, Minneapolis, MN
"I have read many books pertaining to
the music industry over the last 10 years
and only one has been able to speak to me in
a language that I could apply successfully.
Not only was Daylle Deanna Schwartz's
"The Real Deal" easy to read and
full of information but it was refreshingly
motivating. I recommend this book to anyone
who would like to understand and succeed in
this crazy but wonderful business of music.
" -- Stacey Whitton of "WHITTON"
, Reno, NV stacey@Partyinc.org
I like the way Daylle writes, pulling no
punches and leaving nothing to the
imagination. One can learn lots from her.
The Real Deal is not only educational for
those trying to get into the music business,
but informative from deep down. There are
things in that book that no one else would
dare to tell you. Thanks to God and Daylle,
I'm going to keep trying. She makes it seem
like nothing is impossible. -- Renee
Woodruff, Goffstown, NH Gospelpoet@juno.com
"The Real Deal is an invaluable
resource for musicians. Whether you are a
well established act or just beginning, the
knowledge and insight that Daylle shares is
a precious advantage in a competitive
business. Overrun with rumors, myths and
hear-say, the music industry can be
confusing and intimidating. Daylle does an
excellent job of separating fact from
fiction and in doing so presents her readers
a clear path to success." -- Josh
Patrick, of Standard
Candle, Birmingham, AL
"The Real Deal is an empowering
eye-opener for anyone in the music business.
Not only do I look to this book for
practical advice for my own booking agency,
I look to it for strength. Daylle's own
story of soaring to the top despite all
opposition is inspiring not only to women
but to everyone trying to make it in this
business." -- Sibyl Walker, M.A.D.
