5 Books Every Music Artist must Read

The online world is saturated with a lot of tutorials about music production, mixing, mastering, sound design and pretty much every aspect of music production and music business, but there is one thing that those video tutorials generally lack, and that is the experience. While writing a book, words and experience are the only tools available. And that is why you can get the maximum knowledge through other's experiences by referring to the book as a learning resource. Here are 5 outstanding books that every music artist must-read.
