David Hooper joins us to day to share ways comedians might market themselves based on what he know from the music business. in 2013 David released his book, "Six-Figure Musician - How to Sell More Music, Get More People to Your Shows, and Make More Money in the Music Business”.
Hooper hosts Music Business Radio, a syndicated, weekly, one-hour specialty program spotlighting the inside workings of the music business. David interviews various industry professionals giving listeners their music business insights and expertise. The wide-ranging guest list includes Grammy Award winning music producers, artists, musicians, and songwriters, as well as record label executives, promoters, and artist managers.
