TBAF (These Beats Ain't Free)

There is no shortage of talent in the music industry. There is however a lack of "inspiration" and "information". So many talented artists dream of leaving a 9-5 job in hopes of pursuing their music dreams. These Beats Ain't Free is an intuitive guide that is focused on helping producers, engineers, artists, & dreamers from all walks of life develop the tools to make their "Passion" their "Paycheck". Billboard, Stellar, & Dove Award winning Music Producer J. Rhodes crafts a personable, witty, funny, entertaining, but even more so informative listen. It's such a conversational piece that you'll be finished before you know it and will have learned and laughed your entire way through it.

Here are some testimonials from industry professionals:

• If you're a producer, be sure to purchase this book! Just opened it up and it's already filled with gems!—Decap "Producer and the face of Ableton Push"
• If you really take music production serious then you'll know it's more to it than just making beats. It's our way of life! Had to support this. A lot of useful information.—I am code Redd—Music industry professional.
• Producers! This is a great book producers of every level should read! Very informative and detailed.—Cloud 1093—Music industry professional.

"That thing that you would do for free, is that thing that you should get paid for" says Rhodes. "It takes 10,000 hours to become a master of your craft. Your average working person can spend 100,000 hours in a job that they had no passion for. In 1/10 of the time, you can be well on your way to living your dream!
