Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/11/2014 --The first volume in a series of music education guidebooks that provides valuable resources for emerging artists along with the building blocks necessary to create leverage and equity in their career.

The Music Industry Self Help Guide – Taking Your Steps towards Trampling Over The Obstacles in an Independent Market is the first literary contribution from author Michael Repel, a longtime working musician and independent record label owner.

After playing with many bands, mentoring artists from multiple genres at music conferences, and receiving multiple submissions from unprepared artists and bands; Repel thought it necessary to provide a book for emerging artists that addressed all of the items that are creating a huge disparity between working musicians and those who are trying to get their foot in the door of the industry.
