________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In this collection, you’ll hear me interview seasoned musicians, vocalists and booking agents who have all cracked the code to getting gigs in Asia and who can teach you how to do the same.

I wish I’d have had this information when I first considered finding gigs outside North America.

Back then, I didn’t have the time or money to invest in my career as a musician.  So, I kept running around with the same crowd scraping by doing the same old lousy one niters and other gigs that hardly made any money.

I naively believed my family, friends and other musicians when they told me that the reason I wasn’t seeing results was because being a musician was a dead end street.

So, I kept running aimlessly, working senseless part time jobs, waiting for gigs and phone calls and waiting for some hope to show up at my door.

And after a while, when nothing happened, I’d finally had enough. That’s when I decided to plan my move to Asia.

Greetings Fellow Musician,

I’m Harry Schnur

For the last year, I’ve been interviewing the world’s best Music experts.

When I was young, I saw how my father struggled to pay the bills as a house painter.

I had a burning desire to be a musician.

My family and friends called me a dreamer and told me I would fail.

I felt like I had no one who believed in me.

And despite it all, I became a successful producer, composer and studio musician.

I now live in Taipei, Taiwan, and it was in 2001 I listened to that little voice inside my head urging me to set off to Taiwan. I knew the economic situation in the West was changing and that more and more folks were setting their sights on Asia.

I also wanted to give my long distance relationship with my girl friend-(now my wife) a shot.  It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Even though I came here without knowing anyone in the music scene, I became band leader at the top jazz and latin club in Taipei, Taiwan.  I managed to score the choice gigs and perform with the awesome players living here as well as backing up and jamming with various heavy hitters in the industry who passed through Asia.

Now let’s be clear, this all didn’t happen over night.  I made mistakes, embarrassed myself and had quite a few WTH moments.

This audio information package is perfect for the motivated and passionate musician like me, who’s looking for a rewarding full-time music career in Asia.

But putting together this information wasn’t easy.

First, it took me about three years to figure out the ins and outs of gigging in Taiwan and around Asia.

Second, I had to seek out and interview the top foreign musicians and performers who are currently gigging in Asia. These had to be proven pros and successful artists.

Then, I spent at least seventy hours editing the interviews and I paid a few hundred of dollars to transcribe them.

But it was all worth it because this collection is so complete and useful, I’m certain you won’t be able to find it anywhere else.

Listen to these audio interviews or read the word for word transcripts and you’ll gain understanding about the gigging scene in Asia and that you too can also have a rewarding career as a musician in Asia.

Sincerely,

[]
