Introduction

As we look into the complexities of how to effectively become successful in the Music Industry, we will find that most of the standard formulas for acquiring success has become nothing more than an overwhelming stigma for many aspiring professionals. Though the current infrastructure of the business has been heavily guarded by some of the most brilliant minds this industry has seen, the knowledge of their success is no longer hidden in mystery. The road to success will now be within the palms of your hands as Silkk Miller also known as Silkk “The Shocker” Miller has researched the ins and outs of this industry, its countless success stories as well as downfalls of some of the elite in this business, to collectively present this guide to help you find success and have a clearer path for longevity within your career. Creating a unique formula that even the most advanced professional could use, PAVED changes the way people succeed in music.

Often when Silkk would be asked the reasoning or even the inspiration behind him creating this book, his reply would be, “I simply wanted to inform those who are lacking the proper knowledge and education of the Music Industry. For most people, gaining knowledge about the business in general is usually a ‘Learn As You Go’ type of arrangement that is commonly practiced by either studying under a professional as an intern, apprentice or just observing certain angles on an individual basis, even that can become an endless maze to follow. Many hope to gain as much knowledge on such an overwhelming career path. Ultimately having the desire to acquire this knowledge in a timely manner.” Silkk emphasizes on the fact that this industry requires hard work, diligence and knowledge to push from a Creative Innovator into a Business Exec. “Lets face it, No one wants their career to near its end before they’ve finally found confidence in the knowledge they have gathered towards succeeding in their career.”

PAVED in depth will grant a bird’s eye view for those who are in search of a successful direction or route within the music industry. Ultimately, minimizing your obstacles will grant you success. If there was a minimal amount of let downs that may arise to sway you from reaching your goals, your success ratio would continue to grow and prominence would be guaranteed. In this business, the ratio or percentage of being confronted with obstacles is almost 99%-100% but that doesn’t mean you won’t prevail or succeed in this industry. Although many paths of gain or success come with a price, your situation doesn’t have to become more than you bargained for. There will always be an obstacle of road blocks near or detours trying to alter your goals but the key to overcoming the obstacles is solely within your drive and determination. You have to remain driven when faced with adversity in your career. Its the only way you’ll make it through this industry. “I’ve experienced a countless array of obstacles within my career but as I gained the proper knowledge, I persevered. I had to come to the realization that my frustrations towards my goals were caused by certain paths of misinformation.

The lack of proper information would drive anyone to change their route. Often, some will deliberately misinform you with inaccurate information with a main objective to leave you without an alternate route to take. You would have no other choice but to give up or give in. I believe anyone have the ability to succeed in this business but only with accurate information. You have to be equipped with an arsenal of knowledge to gain leverage in this race. The knowledge of this industry has been recycled in various ways, yet never has pushed the mold to really grant you accurate success or complete result.” After researching numerous books, attending music seminars etc., Silkk found that the majority were giving the same thing or the same dull experience. A prelude of “Hype” and more time spent on the visual illusion of helping people obtain great results in their careers. “With this book, I wanted to grant inquiring minds the answers to those questions about the industry that’s often asked while they found their place in success. The information that is within this book will help many individuals find success and ease the burdens of this business” states Miller. In this mindfully crafted book you’ll be granted a look inside this industry from a personal approach, overcome any stigma on your road to success and grasp any goal you have for your career. “When I was starting out I didn’t have a blueprint or a guideline to lead me in the right direction, I had to learn it for myself. I believe that writing this book was very necessary and long over due”.

Within the modern pool of the music industry, a large majority of aspiring professionals are swimming towards information or literature about the Music Industry from people or constituents who aren’t apart of the business or may not have the proper experience or credentials to give you solutions on such a matter. “No one wants to be given criticism or learn the ropes about their field from someone who’s only had a glimpse of what the Industry is really about. Your career should be molded and nurtured to its fullest potential, so you have to be wise about who you give the privilege of educing your career” states Silkk. We’ve all seen the many approaches to succeeding in the business but PAVED will rejuvenate the careers and the ambitions of millions for the next generation of entertainment success.

“The Mind Gives us Dreams to see thru to completion. It’s up to us to Choose the right route or path for our Destiny to remain True” - Silkk “The Shocker” Miller
