Publisher's Summary

Songs move people. They create visuals in our minds, and stoke fires in our hearts. They lift us up, take us down, and allow our minds to soar.

Chris Greenwood is the man behind Manafest: the globally successful rock and rap musician who’s sold millions of singles and albums world-wide.

With over 20 years experience in the industry, both as a signed artist and an independent musician, Chris shares his incredible experience as a song writer and hit-maker in this audiobook.

The modern music industry has undergone a revolution in recent years. The traditional gate-keepers have ebbed away, and now more than ever new artists can find audiences without the backing of a music label. But it’s hard going it alone, and even harder to know what it takes to achieve the level of success that will sustain you both artistically and financially for years to come.

Chris has lived and learned through this remarkable time, forging his own path away from a record label, racking up hit after hit and continuing to reach new fans every day.

Practical, honest, and generous: This book is the ultimate guide to writing, recording, releasing, and marketing your first song to a global stage.

You have the power to write your own destiny with your songs and lyrics. Now is the time for you to take the first step. Write the message that only you can write, and cause revolutions and revelations in the hearts of your listeners.

Inspiration and Insight

Jam packed with inspiration and insight from lived experience. If you’ve hit a wall or just want to know what next step to take in your music/songwriting, this is the book for you. Chris gives a peak behind the curtain at what it takes to be a successful independent artist, how to navigate writing a killer track and tames the daunting beast that is releasing your track. Excellent book.
