Professor Chris Reali has invited Cesar Comanche to Skype with his Business of Music course. Cesar is an example of an independent artist in the true sense of the phrase; he own the rights to his music, books his own shows, writes his own material, produces his work and the work of others, handles his own promotion, etc. The students will have the opportunity to converse with someone who represents the DIY aesthetic that is increasingly common within today’s music industry.
