Hey yall. Its Friday and its been a long week so I’m gonna keep todays post short and sweet.
Good news is every Friday I’ll be posting up free goodies that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. I know, i know… Blogs are always about free stuff, but just follow with me. It’ll be good, trust me!
I scanned a cool article from Spin Magazine from the April edition called “Who Earns What?” It documents a couple dozen different positions in the music industry and really shows you what the perks and downfalls are of each job. Including actually salary.
Ones to check out ::: Rappers Body Guard, Rapper/Entrepreneur, Singer Led Zeppelin Tribute band…
But what about everyone else — the musicians, record execs, technicians, bloggers, and photographers? How much do they bring home — and how have the realities of a depressed music business affected everyone from A&R reps to record store employees? To find out, we asked more than two dozen men and women in the biz to list their perks, pains, and yearly pay. We won’t pretend to call this a scientific survey, but we can say that these are all legitimate players and workers, some of whom have appeared in this very magazine. (For obvious reasons, they agreed to participate on the condition of anonymity.) For those thinking about entering the business (or those already in it who wonder about their futures), these comments and figures can be considered pieces of advice — or, in some cases, words of warning.
