Hello, on behalf of Expert Village, my name is Barry Bergman, and today I am here to give you tips on the music industry. The realities of the music business is that it isn't for everyone. It's a music business. You've got to have the ingredients to making the music, as well as trying to understand the business. You've got to be able to make a commitment to it. It's not a part-time hobby. It's something that's a full-time business that's seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, in essence. You need to be able to be committed to this thing in such a way that it is going to be a long-term endeavor, because you can't put a day and date on this industry as to when you are going to get a recording contract, a publishing contract, or any other kind of deal that you may be looking for.
