PRAISE
"This is a very helpful introduction into the music business from a levelheaded, matter-of-fact perspective. I came out with a broader understanding of the game. As a professional DJ/Producer, I can attest that following this advice and learning from your social savvy will help me gain opportunities that I may have previously missed out on." -Skinny Hendrix, DJ, Miami
"I had been watching YouTube videos, reading blogs, and wasting time on discussion boards for months before I found Limelight. That’s when things finally started coming together, and I ended up connecting with some good musicians and getting our first gig within a few months. This book doesn’t sugar-coat it, and it was hard work, but it’s absolutely worth it. Check this book out right away if you’re serious about getting on stage." -Rick G., Independent Artist, Boston
