Ü I spent over $30,000 A year studying music business
I spent
over $30,000 A year studying music business at a large school in Boston, and honestly - I probably absorbed more from
this one particular book than any of the required text assigned to me at that school.

Ü I just want to let you all know, that I cannot
stop reading your book!!!
I have read several books over the years on the music industry, and
yours is by far the MOST comprehensive, and most specific to urban music EVER WRITTEN!
I have read
Kashif's book, and the “All You Need To Know” series from Passman, “This Business Of Music”, and so
on - But the Music Powers book ain’t nothing but the truth! For as much as I thought I knew about
the business, just reading the track on slangin’ beats was enlightening. Then to cover every aspect of the game
from producing to engineering, to publishing is PERFECT for me, cuz thaz what I do.
And another thing thats hot is the industry contacts. Attorneys, managers - Emails and fax
numbers, thats what up. I'm pissed cuz I bought this big azz industry source book (Recording Industry Sourcebook) bout
5 years ago cost me close to $100 and it ain’t nearly as tight as yours. I'm glad someone stepped up to empower us brothers
out there trying to make it in the crazy game.
Thank you, now let me get back
to the reading.

Ü YO!!!
Thanks for all of this info from this wonderful
book! I don't think I would have made it to where I am today without it. I got all of these mixes lined up for Kieth Sweat, Chris Bell, and others. Meeting the people
in the book is how I made the connections.
Young Joc is next. So look out for
me soon. Thanks again!

Ü Dear Music Powers
After my 15-year-old daughter signed a major
recording contract at the age of 14, we became over-whelmed with many issues pertaining to her career .
We questioned ourselves on many issues...did we hire the right attorney,
did we sign with the right label, issues with what producers to bring in, matters with creative control that the label had
over artist.
I had bought and read many books concerning all aspects of the
music business, many of these books never really gave detail answers on how to get this done, how to get that done. These
books only covered the basics, which I already knew. Then I walked into Barnes & Noble to find what
I call the bible of the music business (The Music
Powers That Be) written by C. Cirocco Jones.
I can truly say that this book is with me day and night. The Music Powers book also allows my 15-year-old daughter, Adraine (aka A.O.)
of Music-Line/Capitol Records (myspace.com/adrianeao)
to read and understand this business a lot more than she had. I have and will continue to recommend this book to anyone
working in the music
business.
Sincerely,
-D. Owens

I have to say thank you for what you done. You made a book that cannot
be touched. You not only explain the biz you explain production and the whole nine. This book should be in Barnes and Noble
and a must read for anybody that is thinking of this biz. I have read numerous books on the industry nothing can touch
yours. You are doing folks a real service my brother. Thanks for doing this for a brother that had so many questions. God
Bless. I will see you at the top.

have the knowledge.
Thanks again.

The Music Powers book you wrote shows you care
about artists especially the new and upcoming, The book give tips coming from the best of the best in the music industry +
it includes " the hookups " most artist are dreaming about, when i was looking over the sneak preview i was like my goodness,
now those are hookups, and tips! …and only for a 20 euro?, its nothing really… comparing what people
are getting from music powers, I’m pretty sure that everyone who is a 100% dedicated to their music career will buy
it.
