How to Become the Next Music Superstar

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 9, 2006

Thanks to the electronic revolution, the music industry is changing. No longer do musicians and singers need the backing of radio stations and big record companies to start building a fan base or having a successful music career.

“Forget about American Idol, don’t rely on record labels; an artist can make a name for himself / herself first. Then they’ll have the chips stacked in their favor to make a great deal,” is the advice of Jaci Rae, No.1 Best-selling author, syndicated DJ, writer and successful indie artist.

American Idol winners and runners-up are held to strict contracts and tightly controlled careers. Jaci says there’s been no better time to be an indie musician – making the music and money they want and deserve. Rae discusses such up-to-date marketing techniques as: Blogging, Podcasting, guerrilla marketing, college bookings, record pools -- even how the indie musician can start up their own successful indie label.

This controversial and outspoken guest also discusses:

•      How American Idol makes stars – and also indentured musical servants -- of their winners.
•     Why children should be kept out of the music business until the age of 18.
•     How the Internet, satellite radio and Podcasting are changing the audience for music.
•     Why indie artists are the future of the music business.

This guest will explain in detail how to go from starving artist to thriving musician in a business that eats its young.
