      companies.

      ~Dedication~

      This book is dedicated to all the struggling Indie Artist, record labels, producers and all that seek knowledge about the basic principles of the music business. I have worked in the music industry for about 12 years doing workshops, seminars, street promotions, radio promotions, store merchant, and a host of others things that pertain to music industry.

      In 2004, I started a company called Hi Praz Network Inc. working with Indie Artist because I knew their struggles and the lack of knowledge that come with being an Indie Artist. I felt a need to empower Indie Artist with the knowledge I had gained through the experiences I encountered in the music industry.

      ~Table of Contents~

      ~FOREWORD~

      The question has been asked to me why are you writing this Handbook? In the early 90’s, I worked with several musicians who composed songs written by me. I had no knowledge about the music industry, so I would write songs lyrics without copywriting them and take them to musicians to help me develop them into songs.

      I thought I had found the perfect combination with a musician in whom I worked with previously on several songs. We would work until the songs were finished. We then began to perform these songs in churches and started to gain a small fan base in return. Our goal was to move toward going into the studio. Months went by and we were unsuccessful in securing a studio, let alone a budget to offset the cost. With time passing, he began to pursue other groups with the songs I had written and finally landed a group with a budget to get him into the studio.

      This group went forwards and recorded one of my songs. From then on I was driven to find out how I could PROTECT my songs and get the credit for ownership. I felt if this happened to me then it has happened to someone else and to my surprise it has happened to millions and is still happening today.

      Now, my efforts are to spread the word to Indie Artist about protecting themselves and how to get all the credit and royalties that they are entitled too.

      ~ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS~

      First I would like to thank God for the vision and opportunity to present this Handbook to all of those who may learn and prosper from these basic principles of the music business however, this is just the beginning of a long journey to help educate Indie Artist about the basic knowledge of the music business. I would also like to thank my DAD and my hero who has always told me to follow what I believe THANK YOU. To my God Mother Ms. Maple Reddrick who has assisted and educated me throughout the years to guide other Indie Artist in the right direction, I would like to say THANK YOU.

      To my bro in whom I had the pleasure of meeting in 2005 Mr. Yassim Ali, together we almost climbed the mountain of building an independent community, but the journey continues. To all of those who have come along my path that have participated in my many workshops and seminars, those that allowed me to present my views on panel discussions, and all those who participated in my one on one consultations and to those that I may have forgotten THANK YOU.

      Our hopes is that you will be enlighten to start stepping in the right direction once you apply the steps in this handbook , and that you may share this information with others who may struggle from the lack of knowledge.

      We are always available for consultation, our networking partners are always on stand- by waiting to assist Indie Artist in whatever your needs maybe, so don’t think that you are alone we are here to help you fulfill your CREATED DESTINY.

      ~AN ARTIST PROSPECTIVE~
