Are You Serious?: A Next Steps Guide for the Christian Recording Artist

by Victor V. Smith

Overview

So, you're a Christian Recording Artist wanting to know the next steps you need to take while you are creating your CD, or after your CD is completed? As a Christian Recording Artist, there is a different system and mindset that must be in place before you launch yourself into the world. The process of making a CD, website, and promotions are the same, but the system in which you use to become successful in the eyes of God, is drastically different. Is God the focal point of your success, or you? Are You Serious tackles the hard questions: "Why is it that Christians rarely see success in the music industry?" and "How does a Christian create longevity in the music industry?" Are You Serious shines a light on un-tackled issues that are not taught to Christian Recording Artists. Chapters such as "God's System vs The World's System", "Developing You Stage Presentation", "Effectively Using Your Press Kit", "Locating Your Ideal audience", among others. This book is designed as a Christian Recording Artist's guidebook with workbook questions that will help you focus on the process of the industry, while keeping to the integrity of God's system.
