Author Tells VH1 Audience: "Independent Musicians Earn More"
NEW YORK, February 5, 2002: Author Joe Taylor Jr. appeared on VH1's "Wax Tablets" interview show this week. He told host Maria Chambers that independent musicians regularly outperform their major label counterparts when it comes to earning steady income and developing a lasting career. "Too many artists knock themselves out getting signed to a major label, only to wind up owing that label hundreds of thousands of dollars," Taylor said. "That can ruin a person. Instead, artists can focus on growing an audience and earning a living, so they'll make it in the long run." Available at the website GrowYourBandsAudience.com, the book and accompanying toolkit contain checklists, strategies and sample letters that working musicians have successfully used to book more shows, sell more tickets, and make a comfortable living making music. Taylor interviewed successful independent musicians and club owners. He identified three key trends among professional musicians: · When you include the debt burden placed on artists by recording companies, independent artists earn and keep more money than artists signed to major labels. · Artists can earn significant income by owning their own record labels, by writing songs that get placed in film and television productions, and by playing at least two concerts per week. · The best thing an independent musician can do to secure steady income is to grow their core audience.
