Watch Out for the Sharks..................

 The Business Side of Music
With Tom Sabella and Traci Root

Recorded at Records on The Wall Studios Nashville, TN
Music by Mike Pachelli
Producer Bradley Raines
This podcast is part of Page2 Radio Network

Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got”
—Janis Joplin



Watch out!  They’re circling. Slowly. Closer. And they look hungry!  The sharks, that is, the scam-meisters that prey upon naive, ambitious artists who are eager to be published.  It’s often said, and pretty much undisputable, if you swim with sharks you’re bound to get bitten.
But what are you supposed to do?   Stay out of the water?  We all know that the music business attracts all kinds.  And that includes some of the slimiest excuses for human beings that one will ever encounter.  Just like in football, in the music biz the key to having a good defense is to provide a strong offense.  That means arming yourself with knowledge and strengthening the muscles of your business mind.  You must work on your “plays” (so to speak),  to ensure a strong “running game” that enables you to trample the sharks and other bottom feeders.  Business savvy can take years. Remember this – if it seems too good to be true – then it is NOT true!!  Let’s talk about a few particulars…

Our quest this week is Traci Root

Born in Indiana, but raised in multiple ethnic communities – diversity has always found its way into Traci’s musical style, which has developed into an R&B Fusion sound.  She landed in Cincinnati, OH in 1995 and began actively pursuing her passion as a singer/songwriter in 1999.

Traci explains her passion and drive as an indie artist. And how understanding who  you are helps her focus on being a musician as well as a business person.

Tuesday February 26th Traci is at the Rutledge, 410 4th Nashville, TN
Show starts at 8:30p Ages 18&up $5.00 Cover
