Music Career

GETTING RADIO AIRPLAY codifies the procedures that many who record independently, such as singer/songwriters, bands, and their support people, quickly learn by experience: you send out review copies, then you follow up in a professional, organized manner, and then-sometimes-you get airplay. Hustwit, who has run an independent record label based in Southern California, unselfishly shares what he knows, including some good inside tips on promotion and publicity, and lists of key people and organizations who can help. Also valuable are interviews with folks who have experience and knowledge in the indie/college scene (independent labels and college radio stations). As daunting as the whole self-publicizing thing can seem, bands and artists can develop a plan and succeed. Gary Hustwit's suggestions form a good platform from which to start. And remember this, too: significant income can be derived from turning one's music into a self-propelled record company, even if the world calls you "unsigned."

Published in 1998, it is useful for musicians trying to get their music played on radio. The book contains a directory of contact information for radio stations, and a lot of this information has changed over the years.
