What
People Say About
The Book
"I'll
admit it, I was skeptical. Another
book on how to be a musician? Come
on. They're all alike. But I Don't
Need A Record Deal! was
different...it
wooed me like no other music-biz
book has. First off, Schwartz
assumes that
you want to remain an independent
artist; to that end, she doesn't
offer a
glossary of royalty-speak or advice
on how to kiss industry tuckus. What
she
does provide is loads of creative
ideas on how to be successful as an
indie...This one doesn't stand a
chance of joining the dusty tomes at
my
next garage sale."
American Songwriter Magazine |
"Some
books you read and enjoy, this book
you study and live by it. The
world is major but I was born
independent. So why not remain
independent?
Why beg for a record deal....when I
can deal my own records."

About
The Book
The
dynamics of the music industry have changed
dramatically. Musicians now recognize that a
majority of artists who have record deals
don’t make money or have longevity. Many
are proving that they no longer must depend
on a record label to have a career with
their music. Indie music guru Daylle Deanna
Schwartz believes that musicians can earn a
full time living, IF they develop their
talent and commit to working hard.
Why
let someone else choose the direction for
your music or tell you how to look? Why pay
a record label back for the cost of
recording your album out of your small
royalties and still not own the master? Most
indie musicians won’t be rock stars but
they don’t care, as long as music is their
day job!
I
Don’t Need a Record Deal! is a
comprehensive guide for empowering those who
want to make a living from their musical
talents. Daylle provides tools for
developing a satisfying career, with or
without a record deal, with directions for
finding almost every possible way to earn a
musical income, including:
·
How to take touring to the next level
·
Performance opportunities that pay
·
Alternative ways to turn your musical
talent into cash
·
Licensing music for film, TV,
advertising, ringtones, videos, etc.
·
Marketing a CD
·
Touring and licensing music
internationally
·
Doing effective street promotion
·
Getting media attention.
I
Don't Need A Record Deal! is a road map to
building a career by developing musical
talent to a profitable level. Daylle
presents concrete resources for creating a
business around music in order to become a
musician without a day job. The music
industry can be conquered independently.
Artists don’t have to get desperate. They
can walk away from bad record deals because
they have choices. It’s time to establish
a personal declaration of independence for
creating a long-term music career!
Over
150 people - successful major label artists
who’ve chosen to be independent,

professionals - contributed their
