So, you've decided to become a professional musician-to turn your passion into a career. Now what? Unlike many professions, there is no clear-cut path to success in the music industry.

EMMY-winning music producer, studio/session guitarist, and award-winning educator, Kris Hawkins explains some of the most basic and highly misunderstood concepts about what it takes to be a professional musician. Questions are answered like: "How do I find a gig?"; "How much do I get paid?"; "How much do I charge?"; "What's a PRO?"

With over two decades of experience in the industry, Hawkins shares some of the insights that he has gained-successes as well as failures-in the hopes that you will learn from his missteps and triumphs. The Working Musician's Handbook for Professional Success focuses on real-life situations, including:



Asserting your value
Dealing with clients
Protecting your work
Treating your music as a business
Financial management
Finding work and networking

There are many twists and turns within the music industry, and it can seem like a daunting task to try to understand it all. This handbook is your navigator and will help you develop a workable and effective strategy to start your career off on the right foot.

Kris Hawkins is an EMMY-winning music producer, studio guitarist, and award-winning educator. His professional career began as a guitarist in Florida, eventually moving to Los Angeles where he immediately became an in-demand session musician for the likes of Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, Dr. Dre, Dr. Luke, and more. He instructs at the Musicians Institute College of Contemporary Music in Hollywood.
