He also shares his experiences co-authoring the Canadian edition of All You Need To Know About The Music Business with Donald Passman, and provides his perspective on the current music industry landscape.

Ladies and gentlemen, a conversation like this doesn’t come cheap. And without further ado, Chip Sutherland.
