About Music University...

For the past 5 years, the goal of Music University has been to offer students and interns interested in someday working in the music business a chance to get up close and personal with some of today's leading music business professionals. This music seminar is held at our midtown studios in the format of several small classes where attendees even get to take notes and ask questions directed towards our credible panel of “instructors”. Furthermore, students leave the day-long seminar learning about a few of the fundamental areas of the music industry from the core business to studio/creative etiquette. Over the years Music University has hosted an impressive set of panels, with panelists such as world renown producer - Bryan Michael Cox, DJ Don Cannon, DJ Nabs, Co-Owner of Grand Hustle Records - Jason Geter, award-winning producer - Drumma Boy, astute business man and A&R - Kawan "KP" Prather, world renown production group - J.U,S.T.I.C.E.
