Book of the Month Club Recomendation
For those who want a real insight in to how to music industry actually works.....we've got a book for you. Chaton Studios owner/producer/engineer Otto D'Agnolo, decided he had some good thoughts, and perhaps they should be in a book to share with the world, "The Music Business Is burning down, thank god".
Why should you care what Otto has to say? Check out some of his accomplishments:
(List copied from http://www.ottod.com/)
Emmy Award for writing "How Does It Feel"
RIAA Platinum Award for "Grand Champ" by DMX
RIAA Platinum Award for "She Rides Wild Horses" by Kenny Rogers
RIAA Platinum Award for "The Great Depression" by DMX
RIAA Gold Award for "Finally" by Ce Ce Peniston
Celebrity Judge for Fox TV's "American Idol" regional preliminaries in 2002, 2003 & 2004.
Participated as guest on the producers panel at the 2002 NXNE International Music Conference in Toronto, Canada.
Currently a voting member of NARAS
Owner of Chaton Studios in Phoenix, AZ
Owner of Donyolo Music, a BMI affilated music publishing company.
Owner of Donyolo Media Corp., an artist management and music production company.
And for those who are not in the know...Chaton Studios has been one of the most successful studios Arizona has ever seen. Make no mistake; this is a PROFESSIONAL studio, not a guy with a couple of toys. This book is about as blunt as it can get. The music industry is changing, record companies of the day are not going to survive by doing business as usual. Artists these days must do more to get heard, but it pays off. Artists now have many more avenues for their music to be heard, and if people like them, they can make it happen without the Record Companies. I highly recomend this book to any band or musician. It's an entertaining and easy read, and the information it provides will provide some valuable insight.http://www.ottod.com/ Also, this book contains a CD by Caesar Bach, recorded at Chaton by Otto. The CD is worth the price of the book alone. The music is extremely creative and breaks the molds set by the recording industry. Defiantly worth checking out. http://www.caesarbach.com/
