This is the most important tip of them all that we all seem to forget sometimes. I see soooo many artist out here that have mixtapes, videos, and merchandise; yet they do not have any knowledge of basic music business practices. The music and the videos are easy things to master, but what about the actual business. You know, things such as: publishing, royalties, licensing, contracts, tours, marketing, promoting, etc. You should be know the business before you even step into the booth are record anything. Take some time out of your busy schedule and read as much as possible. To many artist are out here getting ripped of unnecessarily. If you need some advice, you have people like good old King Braswell (me) to help you. That's my tip of the week!
