Music Business Contacts: Music Business Registry connects artists, managers, publishers, producers &

“The difference between success and failure is information,” notes Ritch Esra, and he should know. Along with his partner, Stephen Trumbull, Esra is a leading part of the number one most-reliable source of information on “who’s who” and “who does what” in the music business. Best of all, they can tell you where everybody is located.

FIVE VOLUMES OF DATA.

The Music Business Registry (http://www.musicregistry.com) publishes five directories: the “A&R Registry,” the “Music Publisher Registry,” the “Music Business Attorney Registry” the “Film and Television Music Guide,” and the “Record Producer and Recording Engineer Directory.” For many in the business, these are indispensable reference works.

“The directories give everyone vital, accurate and the most up-to-date information they need to contact the entire A&R, music publishing, legal and film/TV music communities,” Esra states. From comparing notes with dozens of professionals in all of these areas of expertise, I can tell you that no one disputes his claim.

More than one music industry executive has told me that the Music Business Registry publications are worth their weight in platinum. Tess Taylor, president of NARIP (National Association of Record Industry Professionals), says “I couldn’t get through one day without the directories from the Music Business Registry. These publications are the finest in the business.”

Each directory tells you how to reach industry professionals by regular mail, e-mail, direct dial telephone and fax. The books provide each person’s exact title, street address, the name of their assistant and the styles of music in which each executive specializes. Web sites are also included.

UPDATES? YOU WANT UPDATES?

The world of the A&R executive is exciting but ever-changing. Which is to say, there’s a lot of turnover in this part of the industry. So much turnover, in fact, that the A&R Registry is completely updated and reprinted every eight weeks, whereas the publisher volume is biannual and the other books come out yearly.

NEED A PRODUCER? HERE ARE 1,700 OF THEM!

Starting a Record Label

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketSo you’re ready to start getting down to the business of music, but you’re slowly starting to realize something awful: you don’t know the first thing about making it in the music business. After all, you’re a musician, not a record exec. But what kind of impact will it have on your career as a musician if you just let your music go without serious promotion backed by a record label? Are you satisfied working that 9-5 for the rest of your life, or do you aspire to something more?

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

* You’re good at music, maybe even created a full album worth of material, but you don’t know what to do with it now.

* You’ve sent your music to record labels and faced that cold rejection. Most of the time you never hear back at all.

* You’ve submitted their music online to a few places… but you’re not getting any listeners. You’re getting lost in the crowd, and you’re definitely not making much money.

* You want to start bringing in the big bucks, but you’re stuck playing the same five or six clubs month after month. You feel like your career’s going nowhere fast.

If this all seems familiar, you may want to consider starting your own record label. If music is your thing, but you’re lost when it comes to the “business” side of things, then you need to start thinking hard about how exactly you’re going to pursue music full-time. You need to learn how to promote your CD, how to get people to buy it, how to get it distributed, how to start touring, and how to get on the radio.

It could eventually mean the difference between a large sum of money and a small one. In your band, be clear how songwriting credits will be handled. Continue reading →
