What's harder: getting a great gig as a musician - or keeping it?

In a competitive and often cut-throat music industry, some musicians feel that it's impossible to find well-paying, quality musical opportunities.

But Chris Snowden, bassist and musical director who has played for such stars as Brian McKnight, Ruben Studdard, Kelly Price, Dave Koz, and a host of high-level acts, has the answers to this riddle.

With years of experience working his way into the 'first-call' territory as a musical director and musician, he shares the key characteristics, qualities and skills you must embrace if you want to consistently grow as both a musician and a person of character.
