Best advice for getting into the music business?

WRITE your own material! And now with the digital age you can make fine tracks to
sell on iTunes and CD Baby with your own computer. You can sell hard copies of your
CD`s and DVD`s with the help of Oasis record manufacturing company which I think has the best packages for making, shipping and promoting your tracks. Using Oasis is just as good as being signed by an indie label except you still own all your songs and if you have some success trust me the majors will come knocking on your door with outstretched
checkbooks!!
So in essence, you can put yourself in the music business and then all you have to do is tour, tour, tour!! Have fun.

Oasis only manufactures CDs. YOu have to record it elsewhere and give Oasis that recording. They will only manufacture CDs from that - 5000, 10000 whatever you want to pay
