Read half of this book last night, by a couple of academics with one foot in the music industry, called Can Music Make You Sick? Measuring the Price of Musical Ambition. It's not a great name all told, but it's a good book. I've mentioned on here a load of times how striking I find it that being a musician works out badly for quite a few of the people involved, this book dovetails with that nicely, especially given that the authors are only interested in the UK. This is the first long form description I've seen of what it's like to be a working musician in the last decade or so, aside from individual artist autobiographies, it's not a world I have access to but have wondered about a lot.
I'm pretty sure they interview Skream as well, all the interview extracts are anonymised but the guy identified as 'Dubstep producer, Male, London' speaks a lot like he does.
