Ok so this is the first album art I have ever made for someone else. The guy I sent it to told me it was too unprofessional and said we can't do business. Can you guys tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The text coudl be better. The positioning, for example. Maybe the title could be on the top part and the musicians on the bottom, that way it wouldn't feel so cluttered.
Make the white lines thinner.
You could even add a very subtle gradient on the white letters, a gray to white one. Remember to keep it subtle. I don't like the transparency. Make it 100% opacity and change the color to a medium gray if you don't want it to be entirely white.
Use two fonts: one for the authors and another one for the title of the album. Right now, that TTT part has that different font and I don't really know why. If anything, I'd change the font used for the names.
Try writing the names or everything in caps, see what it looks like. Maybe it looks better that way.
That hollow font with the inner glow... it's not bad, but I don't like it at all. And, are those lines equally distant from the text?
I hope I'm not forgetting anything, but right now, that's all I think could be improved. Sorry for my english btw.

Oh, the "remix" text feels way out of place. It's outside the boundaries and that font is not good at all.

The client sounds like a dick. Design is a process, back and forth. Show a client three ROUGH IDEAS at first, NOT FINISHED ART. Then you see what they think, et cetera. Work from there. THOU SHALT NEVER ACCEPT THINE FIRST IDEA.
Here's a variation based on your design, which I spent about two minutes on. Make the artwork BIGGER ("Keep it simple, make it big" -- Jerry Garcia), also lose the static centered type. Pump it up, make it more interesting.
