Liza Carbe

Liza Carbe & Jean-Pierre Durand have released their first book, which explains and synthesizes the complicated business of booking and royalties. In their book Thrive and Survive in the Music Business, they break down their process of booking their band and systematically explain the many types of music royalties.

They are a dynamic coaching team that will teach you how to book a tour, how to generate tools you need, and how to understand royalty streams. As veterans of the music business for over 30 years, they are producers, composers, performing musicians, and co-founders of their successful international touring and recording group INCENDIO. Their Billboard-charting “world guitar” group has been together for twenty years. They have 11 self-produced albums out and have averaged around 150 shows annually since their inception, most of which have been self-booked. With over 101 million spins on Pandora alone, they have also enjoyed success on the Amazon, CMJ, and NAV charts. They have composed production music for music libraries, television, and film for twenty-five years. They have hundreds of placements, which include Law and Order, The Big Bang Theory, Breaking Bad, Modern Family, the video game Far Cry 3, the hit movie Bridesmaids, and so many more. They scored The History of Mexico for The History Channel, composed music for Mathnasium, scored the animated montage of Lawnmower Man for the DVD release, wrote the music for one of Disney’s Baby Einstein videos and wrote and produced three different sports packages (the most recent one for the Real Salt Lake soccer team). With their help, you can learn about royalty streams, radio play, song placements, and all the tools you need to THRIVE AND SURVIVE IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS!
