The Chicago White Sox would like to thank City Lights Entertainment for their constant professionalism. It is always great working with you and we will look forward to continuing our relationship in the future. Nicole Manning, Amy Sheridan, Dan Mielke, Brian Powalish - Game Operations Department I am an independent singer/songwriter in Canada. This book was recommended to me by a family member who had seen Michael in an interview, talking about his book. I am just about to release my first album so she thought it might be helpful. I'll be honest, like many of us, I have spent the past few years trying to get some understanding of the music industry and have been to the websites, I've read the articles, I've read the books, and in 90 percent of the cases it was useless information, a mere scratching of the surface, so to speak. I cannot stress to you enough how IMPORTANT this book is for people who are getting started in a career in the music industry in ANY capacity: singer, songwriter, publisher, manager, you name it, they should read it. Because of Michael's book I have a bio, press kit, 2 festival gigs, and a possible East Coast summer tour, all done by me. And by the way, the people in his book, who's names are listed with contact info, you can actually contact them. Try it, I dare you! And enjoy the book, you will be so much further ahead if you do! www.myspace.com/lucashunter To everyone trying to help young musicians achieve their maximum potential: I am the Mother of a musical talent. I can’t deny that it’s not a tremendous challenge. Artistic personalities are often hard to deal with. They’re high energy and high passion. Like the songs say, “the sweat pours out your body”, the emotion of an uncontrollable drive to have their bared soul heard, understood, identified with . . . it’s no easy road. I’m a parent; the parent of an incredibly talented and dedicated man that I believe has a message worth hearing. Where do we begin? How do we help our child or children that we believe in, love, support?? The music business is very complex and difficult to understand. I had an unbelievably wonderful opportunity to meet with a musically talented and passionate man named Michael Wood with the band City Lights Entertainment. In a conference call with Michael Wood lasting a little more than an hour I learned more “tricks of the trade” and solid advice than I could ever have learned networking with dozens or even hundreds of experienced musicians I’ve networked with for 2-3 decades. If you are a parent that wants to help your young talent get a jump start that can launch them into stardom, Michael Wood with City Lights Entertainment is the man you want to talk with. Get your notebook and/or recorder and soak in every word of wisdom he shares with you. He’s mature, experienced, solid and sincere. Michael Wood believes that it’s important to help jumpstart the careers of new talent entering into the music industry blind, with little idea of what to do and how to do it. He has the experience and knowledge you need to get up to speed and get going to achieve your ultimate dreams. I recommend him for all musicians, entertainers, and all venues. He’s been there and has the T-shirt. He’s a compassionate, passionate and dynamic man that wants to give back to the industry what the industry has given him. Whatever he charges, he’s worth the money. Hire him and pick his brain. Learn from his experience, take his advice and embrace what he teaches. He’ll steer you in the right direction. He’ll provide you with “the easy part”. The hard part will be getting your “young adult” talents to follow the directions Michael Wood recommends. He’ll tell you the direction to take to make your move toward success in the extremely complex and competitive world of the music business. His word is gold, and with his advice, suggestions, and deep desire to help others starting at a point he knows is a hard road to travel, Michael Wood can lead you in the direction you want to travel to jumpstart your band’s road to stardom. If you want sound advice that will guide/lead you to stardom get in touch with Michael Wood from City Lights Entertainment. Once you’ve heard what he has to give, the hardest part will be to get your kid and their band to do what he says is the path to success. Good luck with your band. Michael Wood is the man! Get with him and bring your notebook, pen, and tape recorder. His word is Gospel in this business and his high energy and passion for the music business will blast you where you live. I highly recommend him for anyone trying to catch a break in the music world. I am ST Maximum sound and I believe in what Michael Wood has to offer. If I can help or answer any related questions please contact me at http://www.myspace.com/stmaximumsound. Michael Wood’s been a true inspiration to a Mother that sold her home to support her son’s dream. Many people in the music business try to take a new talent and mold them into something that can really reach the people, feed the people, share a philosophical ideology, dream, feeling, heart and soul consuming the driven and talented. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Michael Wood. He’s been a tremendous inspiration and knowledge base for me. I know he’ll do the same for you. Sincerely – Peggy, owner of ST MAMIXMUM SOUND.Cental Louisiana
