Cool Jobs in the Music Business!
By Marisa Tellez (softcover) $14.36
By Jeffrey Rabhan (paperback) $19.99
Here is a guilty pleasure…In fact, it’s a lot like reading your sister’s diary. Tellez offers a true coming of age story about growing up on the Sunset Strip in the ‘80s, when glam rock and hair metal were the rage. Of course, recalling that era through the eyes of a young girl gives it a unique spin. Most interestingly, the book chronicles a time when people actually interacted face to face, unlike today in the age of Social Media. A big question, though, is how she kept her virginity intact despite her adventures with a variety of musicians. But, there’s a sequel on the way—so we may just find out.
Jeffrey Rabhan (chair of NYU’s Clive Davis Recorded Music Program) explains career options through the experiences of some of the industry’s prominent DJs, engineers, executives, journalists, managers, producers and more. Drawing from his 20 years experience guiding the careers of Kelly Clarkson, Lil’ Kim, Michelle Branch, DMX and Jermaine Dupri, Rabhan gives the reader a course of action in finding a career most attuned to their strengths. In exclusive interviews, he gleans insight from the industry’s top professionals who detail their own paths to success and offer career advice. Includes a DVD.
