The Best Jobs in the Music Industry is an essential career guide for those who love music and are exploring different areas of the music industry beyond the obvious performer route. This second edition includes updates and even more interviews, giving a look at how music jobs have changed and the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on the industry.

Michael Redman boils down the job requirements, skill sets, potential revenue, longevity, benefits, and challenges of a variety of music careers, from performer to label executive to recording engineer and music producer. Each description of a job starts with a short summary, followed by stories of the paths to success and the challenges you may confront—all in the words of real pros. Redman interviews over sixty professionals in the business, including Lee Sklar (session and touring musician), Damon Tedesco (scoring mixer), Brian Felsen (CEO of CD Baby), Mike Boris (worldwide director of music for McCann Advertising), David Newman (composer), Michael Semanick (re-recording mixer), Conrad Pope (orchestrator), Todd Rundgren (musician), Gary Calamar (music supervisor), Mark Bright (producer), and Scott Mathews (producer).

Michael Redman is a musician, composer, and serial entrepreneur who has started over ten companies, including the Hard Rock Academy, MyMusicSource, and Powerhouse Music. He is currently an author and technology consultant: he runs a music company with a primary focus on music content and licensing, and still finds a little time to write and record the music he loves.
