Living a Music-Centered Life: A Guide to Balance, Fulfillment and Paying the Bills
“I’ll be recommending this book to all my friends and family.” —Pat Simmons, The Doobie Brothers
Should you dedicate your life to making music? How do you balance earning enough to support yourself with having time and energy to create? Where do sync licensing, gigging, touring, and even fame fit in the picture?
On social media, people talk about going viral or breaking into sync, but they’re often short on details. How much money are they really making? Is music their full-time income or a side hustle? It’s a lot of vibes, without a lot of clarity.
Living a Music-Centered Life cuts through the fantasy and gives you the goods. This grounded, no-BS guide is for anyone who wants to build a stable life while making music. You’ll get an unfiltered look at the financial and creative realities of career paths that are both music-related and outside of music—but compatible with it.
