Why You Need a Music Business Network?

You'll need a music business network to advance your music industry career and build your business. A network of music business professionals allows you to expand your reach, knowledge base, contacts, resources and opportunities.

It's through my own music business network that I'm invited to private gatherings, meetings and new business ventures within the music industry. Because of the time, energy, money and sacrifice I've invested my network is closely guarded. Money alone will not allow you into a closely guarded music business network. Your desire and action in helping others achieve their goals and realize their potential, persistence, good will, products and services will gain you entry into networks overtime.

The right music business network will become your saving grace when you least expect it. I was scheduled to speak at Morehouse College to a group of young men. Unfortunately, I was stuck in New York and was unable to fulfill my obligation. I called Cappriccieo Scates, Friend, Associate Director of Writer/Publisher Relations at SESAC and Author of 10 Steps to Successfully Managing Recording Artists. Cappriccieo was the perfect person to speak to the students in my absence. He didn't hesitate to say yes when I asked him to speak, despite the inconvenience of having to adjust his schedule on such a short notice. Had Cappriccieo Scates not been in my music business network I would not have had access to him as quickly as I did. More importantly he may have not said yes so willingly.
