Q -I have some questions to ask you about music business because I really like to sing and would like to get a record deal.

A - If you feel your ready for a record deal, make a demo of your songs andsend your music to the music labels your interested in. It doesn't hurt to try. Good luck! :)

Q - how did you do this ?

A - I just kept singing and learning everything I could about music and the music industry. If you are determined and don't give up, things usually start to happen in your favor.

Q - how much does it cost to pay a manager?

A - Managers don't get paid well at all unless they are managing a superstar. Normally a manager will earn between 10% and 35% of the income
that their client makes.

Q - where did you start?

A - I started at home with a musical family. They were really supportive of my interest in music so they encouraged me and supported me to work for my dream.
