Navigate the music industry's moral minefield—negotiate with predatory record labels, deal with jaded venue owners and stone-cold executives, and decide when to compromise (or don’t) on creative vision. Your legend is written through the relationships you forge, the deals you accept, and the lines you refuse to cross.

Manage your band’s resources to keep it functional: balance limited funds between feeding your musicians, repairing broken equipment, and booking rehearsal space. Then prove your talent by constructing setlists that showcase your strengths, setting up gear that emphasizes your style, and delivering dynamic rhythm-based performances. Success earns cash and brings the fans in. Failure costs reputation and hits morale. Master the stage and doors open—fail and watch opportunities evaporate.
