He has been self-employed in the arts for much of his life – as an author, speaker, teacher, journalist, visual artist, and actor.

Bob Baker - Author of Guerrilla Music MarketingBob is a full-time author who has developed a successful niche writing and speaking about music marketing and self-promotion for songwriters, musicians, and bands. He served six terms as president of the St. Louis Publishers Association and is an advocate for the self-publishing movement.

He is the author of the highly acclaimed Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook (which appeared in the movie The School of Rock, starring Jack Black) and the “Music Marketing 101” course at Berkleemusic, the online continuing education division of Berklee College of Music.

CD Baby called him “The Godfather of Independent Music Marketing.” According to the Salt Lake Tribune, “Bob Baker is one of the most widely recognized authorities on music marketing. A prolific writer, Baker is regarded as one of the industry’s leaders in helping musicians leverage online web and marketing strategies to boost their careers.”

He has appeared in the media on NPR’s “Morning Edition” and “Marketplace” and in such publications as Electronic Musician, Music Connection, Publishers Weekly, The Guardian, Canadian Musician, VIBE magazine, E! Online, and even The Onion!

Bob’s other titles include The Empowered Artist, 55 Ways to Promote & Sell Your Book on the Internet, Guerrilla Music Marketing Online, Unleash the Artist Within, Branding Yourself Online, and more.

Over the decades he has interviewed hundreds of people who make a living and thrive in their chosen creative fields – such as Sheryl Crow, Derek Sivers (founder of CD Baby), Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn from Pomplamoose, Amy and Nick from the pop duo Karmin, author Joe Vitale, full-time visual artists Flora Bowley and Tom Fedro, and many more.

In all of his interviews, Bob seeks to uncover the keys to each person’s success. What they did, how they think, what unique qualities enabled them to break through and rise above.

This new immersive experience is a distillation of decades of research combined with the real-life successes that Bob has achieved himself.
