"Reading Chris Standring's step by step guide, "So You Think You Want A Record Deal", Is like getting advice from the music biz veteran uncle you wish you had. He shoots from the hip, with just the right amount of wisdom, fact and humour. Reading this guide is like going to rock and roll boot camp! It might scare you a little, but it will enable you to weed out false moves and bad judgement calls you might have made had you not read it and followed Chris's sage advice".

Your e-book was absolutely AMAZING! Very interesting reading materials. I will be sure to check out ALL of your future endeavors via online services. Thank you and please know that you have an excellent website and very informative materials. Too bad I can't be there to shake your hand because I am still in AWE after going through the materials that I received - Yasmine Yu, independent artist

 
     
 
"Chris Standring's book So You Think You Want a Record Deal made real sense to me on a personal level. He asks you to ask yourself very personal and deep questions regarding why exactly you would want to be in the music business in the first place. Is it ego driven or the love of the music itself? Personally, Chris's book helped me sort out some of my own questions about this business and I would certainly recommend every up and coming musician sit down and really read this e-book.

The e-book I purchased was very informative and was explained in laymen's terms. Especially for a new artist trying to get into the business, just to have information that explains what to expect from every direction is a step in the right direction if you ask me. I want to personally thank you for taking the time to help make dreams come true. Keep on writing and keep it real for the up and coming Stars. When I finially make it big I can tell others the best way to learn the business is from someone in the business, like you. Thanks a million. Lynett Taylor - R&B vocalist

You nailed the basics in a quick, easily digestable read and really brought focus to an area which is not easy for people on the "inside" to break into...much like radio itself, as you know so well, so much of radio and records is all about connections, a great product and targeted marketing....I not only loved your e book but really found your little "proverbs" entertaining and funny - Ron Erak - Seattle radio consultant with Jones Radio Network
 
     
 
Hi Chris,
I thoroughly dug your book. I'm a vocal coach and "small potatoes" singer promoter, and have found your straight-talking book to be very helpful to my starry-eyed singer students. Your writing style is great too - an easy and fun read! Chrys Page -

   "Discover how to get to know top record company A&R's and get them to sign you!"
Learn how to get record labels to pursue you with a few killer tactics!
Are you in a rut in your pursuit of success in the music business? Are you not moving ahead fast enough? Are you tired and frustrated because no one will accept your "unsolicited project"?

Well wouldn't you like to move up and start the music career you were always meant to have..RIGHT NOW?

Hi My name is Chris Standring, recording artist and founder of A&R Online. After 20 years as a professional musician, 2 hit records to my name and several national tours, I want to impart a whole lot of career ideas that will help get you that break you need in the shortest possible time...

The truth is, I know exactly what you are going through. Why? because I have been exactly where you are and the simple truth is I got tired of it and decided to take total control.

That was back in the early nineties. Since then I have closed three record deals for myself with absolutely no help whatsoever regarding introductions to those labels. (I closed the third deal July 2002). That's right, I found out exactly what label I wanted to sign to, did a little research on who I should talk to, phoned the company cold, completely unsolicited, didn't even have a referral, and eventually closed a deal. I did this three times! I want to show you how with a little savvy, you can do this too!!

I can also tell you how to get hooked up with the right support team, namely managers and attorneys as, at the right time, you will certainly need these guys.

Here's how to put an end to all those years of rejection!
And start increasing your chances of getting signed Big time!

Do you spend year in year out doing local gigs, making demo after demo only to find that no music industry person will take the time out to listen to it? If so, I have great news for you! Read on...

We all know it's a tough business. We always hear; "It gets harder and harder for new artists to get signed". Here is a realization. It has always been hard! If it was easy we'd all be playing at the Universal Amphitheatre in Hollywood!

So where does that leave us?

Well, do you have any idea how many independently financed record companies exist out there? Literally thousands!! It is not only a major label world. What is more, these labels are crying out for signable talent! It is possible to start on your own, get signed to a reputable indie label, prove yourself in the marketplace and later on get signed to a major. This is the new course of action. It's a baby step process. For those looking to be discovered, think again. It's up to you to make it happen. It's all very possible but knowledge is power! If you really want to learn, I can show you how. Stay with me...

 
"Practical, realistic advice is more of a rarity than you would think. Chris Standring's "So You Think You Want A Record Deal" is just that. Ask yourself, do you really want a deal? If the answer is 'yes,' read every word of this. When you're done you'll find yourself a step closer to realizing the dream."
Mike Mena/VP of Artist Development for MUSICBLITZ RECORDS "

"Every musician, whether hoping to get signed by a major, large independent, or just wishes to operate in the business realm of music much smarter and faster than the competition, should make Chris' new books their primary "inside" sources.

And, artists should do so, if for no other reason than they are written by an active recording and performing artist, and not some executive who only writes from theory and may (or may not even) have ever actively been involved in the music industry."
Kenny Love- internationally Syndicated writer
