Liquid Sound Lounge's own Jeannie Hopper Interviews Adam Cruz - talking #FreeTheMusicBusiness

Jeannie Hopper sat down with Adam Cruz a year ago to discuss his timeless book "Free The Music Business: Tips and Tales from an Indie Music Nerd".

They discuss the good, the bad and the ugly in navigating the indie dance music industry. It's a great read whether a 'newbie' or a veteran house head, for fans and/or industry heads. It's a window into the importance of community which is at the center of the multitude of tribes that cross over through the music and culture of dance. And the book offers a personal and insightful view into the evolving business of music in the digital age from a dance music industry insider. 

The book is written by Adam Cruz, Edited by Amanda Frontany and Illustrated by Jose Gonzalez and available HERE.
