The book provides the best advice from many of the top music industry advisors , along with the music industry contacts all musicians, producers and artists essentially need.

Music Powers was developed by Record Producer Cirocco. The idea was to put together a book for the creative musician - not lawyers. A book that would help both new and established Artists, Songwriters, and Producers in Urban/Pop (Hip-hop, Rap, R&B, Gospel, and Pop) music - especially with some of the key Music Business and Industry issues; picking out good Management, Hiring a Music Attorney, Hiring A Record Producer, and “What’s fair?”; Publishing, Producer, Artist & Songwriting contract concerns; Selling & Leasing Beats information (we are the only book that has this); advice on getting your records into retail stores (from retailers); Pro Engineering, Mixing, and Mastering Tips (from Grammy Winners); Advice to get Radio Play & picking a hit record (from Major Radio DJs & Consultants); Indie Distribution; Producer Advances; Producer Budgets & Templates; Taxes; How To Create a "Buzz"; the best Studios & Production Tools; Top Managers looking for talent; The BEST Hip-Hop and R&B/Pop Music Industry Contacts; Indie Label Advice, and of course, the biggest concerns regarding your Recording and Publishing Deal. The Music Powers Book is simply the best help and resource book we know of that’s accurate and up to date.
