Who's Legit in the Music Business?

The music industry is an interested business in that outside of being an entertainment attorney, accountant or booking agent in certain states there are no real barriers to entry. Anyone may decide today I'm going to be a music manager, print a few business cards and they look legit to someone new to business and the music industry.

I asked someone how do you know if a person is legit in the music business? How do you know if they work at the company they say they work for as it seems no one has a company email address anymore? For a number of reasons I don't even use my company email instead I use free email accounts such as yahoo and gmail.

Ok, so I was waiting for the profound response on how to determine if a person works for the company they say they work for and the person said, oh that's simple you call the company and ask them if that person works there or not. Wow, that was simple enough.

So let's recap family if someone in the music business tells you they work for so and so you may contact that company and ask if that person actually works there. Simple, maybe... Now that's a Music Industry Connection and Industry Pimping!
