To succeed – to make money and have a career – you need knowledge of both music and business. This week, Michael Brandvold and Jay Gilbert interview tow music industry veterans who authored the Insiders Guide on the Music Biz Weekly podcast.This invaluable book tells you how the business works, what you must know to succeed, and how much money you can make in films, television, video games, ASCAP, BMI and SESAC, record sales, downloads and streams, advertising, ringtones and ringbacks, interactive toys and dolls, Broadway, new media, scoring contracts and synch licenses, music publishing, foreign countries and much more.

This indispensable reference is written by industry insiders Todd Brabec, Educator, Entertainment Law Attorney and former ASCAP Executive Vice President and Worldwide Director of Membership, and Jeff Brabec, Vice President of Business & Legal Affairs, BMG Music Publishing.
