Shelby Kennedy Releases New Book On Navigating The Music Business
Veteran music executive and songwriter Shelby Kennedy has penned a new book for aspiring artists, songwriters and entrepreneurs, Gold & Platinum Nuggets of Wisdom: Bite-Sized Perspectives For Navigating The Music Business.
Kennedy draws from his three decades of experience working with songwriters, artists, publishers, managers, producers and others in the industry in the new book, and offers insights in how to effectively navigate the music industry. Having had an insider’s view to the music business from the time he was small watching and learning from his dad, renowned producer Jerry Kennedy, Shelby possesses a wealth of unique observations and experiences that he shares in the new book.
The perspectives and insights offered up have been gleaned from discussions in the myriad of meetings Kennedy has had throughout his career. Readers will find guidance and helpful directions to aid in finding the best routes and strategies for their path forward. For Kennedy, encouraging people to use all the gifts God gave them to be all they were created to be really is a reward in itself.
“When people try to fit into the music industry, they can get confused and lose sight of what is meant to be their unique contribution. My book is an alternative attempt to have a few meetings with the reader so they can get on the fast-track with better understanding to cut through the clutter in their career path,” says Kennedy.
Gold & Platinum Nuggets of Wisdom: Bite-Sized Perspectives For Navigating The Music Business is available at Amazon Books and other digital platforms now.
