Indie Music Major Business

By Lee Evans

This book is designed to educate independent artists and upcoming music professionals of the music business steps that should be taken in order for them to start making money from their music, with the understanding that it is the same business that every major recording artist has to handle as well. Through the author's testimony, and by using his own music career as an example, the reader will be educated on the importance of the split sheet, and how registering their music properly with BDS, and their chosen Performing Rights Organization, can and will lead to their first royalty check.

Acknowledgments

First off, I would like to give God the glory for my story! It is only by His grace and favor that I am still here pursuing my dreams and allowing my gift to make room for me. I would like to send my deepest love and a huge thank you to my beautiful wife for believing in me and always pushing me to become better. I couldn’t have done this without you, girl! To my #1 fan, my mother, for always supporting me and having my back no matter what, I love you momma and thanks for everything. Much love and respect to my Pops, I really appreciate your wisdom and guidance, Sir. Every conversation we have counted more than you know. 

I would also like to thank every one of my uncles and aunts for being there whenever I needed you. I love you all. Thank you to ALL of my cousins --  from Nashville to Haywood County to Cleveland and everywhere in between-- your support goes without saying, and I love y'all for that. A special thanks to my in-laws for accepting me as family and encouraging me to keep striving. To my stepson, Jacquan, I hope this book reminds you that you can achieve anything you set out to do with faith and dedication, so never give up on your dreams, love Dad. 

A big shout out and much love to a
