This is a portal for people who look at music as a business, for industry folk and aspiring artists alike, to present and discuss the way things work in the biz. It's not about the stars, it's about the promoters, producers, handlers, lawyers, business execs. It's about old models and new models for selling, diseminating, packaging, handling music.
