Well, if you're one of the CMU Daily readers currently embarking on a career in the music business, perhaps you should read this one. Warner Music boss Kevin Liles is publishing a book charting his rise from intern to President at Def Jam Records, the major label Liles ran before being head hunted by Warner's Lyor Cohen.
Called 'From Intern to President Make it Happen: The Hip Hop Generation Guide to Success', the book will take the form of a guide for anyone hoping to follow his rise up a corporate hierarchy, presumably with specific reference to making it in the music business. There won't, however, be any tips on how to stage a lukewarm share sell and to convince the entire investment community your company is insecure and underperforming - presumably he's leaving that to the future books of more senior Warner execs Edgar Bronfman Jnr and the aforementioned Lyor Cohen.
The book will be published in the US in Sep by Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. No word yet on whether it'll get a UK release.
