WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. - TelAve -- Drawing on more than three decades of experience as a presenter, curator, and venue owner, Chaye Alexander offers musicians a candid, practical roadmap to career longevity. Earn The Return is the essential guide for musicians who want more than gigs—they want a career.

Playing music is only part of the job. Getting booked and invited back requires preparation, professionalism, and a clear understanding of how to work with venues and their audiences. As Chaye explains, success depends as much on contracts, communication, and reputation as it does on how well you play.

Built on lived experience, cautionary tales, and the standards that separate amateurs from professionals, Earn The Return distills decades of insight. Chaye, the visionary behind the acclaimed Chayz Lounge and Chayz Lounge Radio, shares hard-won lessons to help musicians move from one-off gigs to a sustainable career.
