The Music Biz is challenging, scary, and full of the unknown. Entertainment attorney Kamal Moo wants to help you avoid mistakes along the way.

The Straightforward Guide to the Music Biz is a must-read for anyone looking for a clear, simple, and concise overview of how the music industry is organized and the typical contracts musicians and songwriters will encounter.

In The Straightforward Guide to the Music Biz, Kamal Moo, an entertainment lawyer, breaks down the industry in a way that will both educate and support artists whose goals include success, and hopefully stardom.

As Moo notes, “the purpose of this book is to be more of a reference handbook or ‘how to’ manual, so you’ll find that I don’t spend too much time discussing abstract legal or business theories. Also, that’s why the chapter titles are so straightforward – I’m just trying to give you the distilled information as efficiently as I can. Hence the title of this book.”

Among the topics covered: Copyrights, Mechanical Licenses, Musical Compositions vs Sound Recording, Music Publishers, Starting a Band, General Partnerships, Record Deals, Starting an Indie Label, Recording Artist Agreements, Producer Agreements, Touring Artist Managers, Talent Agents, Music Attorneys.. and more.

As a former artist manager turned entertainment lawyer, Kamal Moo seeks to pass along his experience and knowledge and give hopeful readers the tools to make sound decisions and help keep their work and careers on the path toward success. Whether the youngest artists and songwriters (or their families and guardians), or seasoned veterans, readers of The Straightforward Guide to the Music Biz will find guidance they can use to make wise decisions.
