"Certainly unknown songwriters also have the tools to create stunning lyrics and music, but it's not enough to simply have these skills. Access and a reputation is necessary as well. That's what this entire book is about."

This book should be at the top of the pile for any aspiring professional songwriter or musician. I have pulled so much good advice from this book. I recommend it for my music friends and reread parts of it.

Assuming that you have the talent.. now what? I can't stress how valuable this book is for taking your music career to the next level. Highly recommended.
