Milwaukee, WI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/28/2006 --If you wish to become successful in the entertainment industry, you should know as much as you can about the music business. You should know how it operates and the correct steps to take to achieve success - including choosing the right manager to help guide you, the right artist to manage, and know what you must do to help your artist move up the ladder to success. What are all of the different avenues for music distribution and how do I start? What are the ABC's of major and independent record labels?
