TJ Rae, The Author
Tonya Jaci Rae (often publishing as Jaci Rae) has built a parallel career as an author alongside her work as an independent musician. Her writing draws heavily on her own experiences in the music industry and in life, blending practical advice with personal insight. One of her earliest books, The Ultimate Guide to Music Success, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the business side of music, with guidance on promotion, marketing, and navigating the industry based on Rae’s own journey as an indie artist.
She followed that with The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money, a resource aimed at helping aspiring musicians avoid common pitfalls and build sustainable careers by applying lessons she learned through decades of self-direction.
Beyond music industry topics, Rae has tackled relationships in Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life One Touchdown at a Time, a self-help book that uses football analogies to explain communication and connection between partners.
Rae’s authorial work reflects her multifaceted interests — from practical industry how-tos to lifestyle and personal development — and showcases her commitment to helping others succeed both creatively and personally.
