"Everything You Need To Do

To Be Prepared For

Anything You Want To Do

In The Music Business"

No matter if you want to sign with a Major or Subsidiary, do it all yourself,
or anything in between, here's how to safely and profitably navigate your path in the Music Business...

“So who’s Professor Pooch, really, and what can he personally do for me?”

This is about Me and my Musical & Music Business Background, and my present role in personally helping those into starting or advancing their careers in today's Music Business...

"Unsigned Acts & Drawing Fans"

Dear Visitors: They say that Recordings and Music aren't selling... WRONG! Music is selling more than ever!!! It is just selling DIFFERENTLY. Let's face it, for just one example, how many Artists, Bands, etc., have you ever heard of, that aren't signed to Major Record Labels, get their records "Scanned" when they sell them at gigs and through Web Sites?

It's the Major Labels that are going to have to adjust - adjust to what the Public wants... With the advent of technology and the Internet, as a major source of product, publicity, promotion and sales, the Music Biz is changing rapidly from what the Industry had gotten used to - into a whole "New Model".

Whether you want to deal with the Majors, or would rather go with, or start an Indie Label, we're here for you. I promise to work hard at keeping you up-to-date, because, simply put - it's my "job", as Consultant to the Industry... But do remember, as the saying goes: The more things change, the more they remain the same. That is, you still have to know and be great at "The Basics".

"professorpooch.com" is all about helping people get into the never boring Music Business. No matter whether you're into the Creative and/or Business and/or the Legal side of Music, you should find plenty here to benefit you.

I've worked very hard to make this Web Site a positive experience: fun, useful, informative, very easy to navigate, fast - and free. Everything is written in easy-to-understand "people talk"! All the links are in the left and/or right columns, and direct you to the exact destination. By the way, there's a lot more "inside" than you think - there's a ton of free insights...

Testimonials

Mr. Spangenberg,

I just wanted to send a note - what a wonderful website you have created. You have provided encouragement in the music industry without giving false expectations.

I have forwarded your web address to several musicians who may gain a great deal of knowledge just from your site.

Sincerely,
Kerry C. Swartz

What should most importantly be said about David Spangenberg is that he is a straight shooter. He tells it like it is and offers tremendous insight into "The Biz". If you are serious about the business that is perhaps the most extremely difficult business to break into in the world, then pay attention to "the Pooch". He has a lot to offer to help you arm yourself for that most difficult task. Trust in Pooch!
