TRUTH: This may work in other industries. But this particular profession / job market is very different.

To start, a 4 year music degree from an accredited college costs around $200,000. The last thing an artist needs when starting their career is a mountain of crushing student loan debt stifling their progress.

They often graduate with a lot of legitimate head knowledge but almost no training on how to launch, run and operate their own business.

So what happens after graduation? Where do they take the diploma?

Remember, no one is offering to hire a singer/songwriter/performer/artist for $80,000 a year on a W2 salary with regular work hours a 401k and health benefits. So there’s no one to show this expensive degree to. There is no “job”. No one is hiring. The market dictates that you must create, build and operate your own business around your talents.

Additionally, many students are rejecting the old system of paying outrageous costs for required courses like “advanced social studies” or “17th century music history” in addition to paying for expensive campuses and someone else’s new buildings.

From inception, our Program was created to eliminate these incredibly expensive and wasteful courses. We teach you the practical skills you need in order to create a healthy, full time music career…and nothing else.

Speaking of “healthy”…standard education institutions often fail to provide training for artists’ personal, mental, relational and emotional health as it relates to navigating the sometimes brutal world of the music industry. Sadly, artists like Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Elvis Presley (the list goes on)… all found financial success yet ended their careers in tragedy.

At NADU we see artists not just as “musicians to be monetized” but as infinitely valuable human beings that deserve to have a great life as well as a successful career. We believe: “There’s no reason to be a successful Artist just to end up as a miserable person.” So we’re doing what no one else is…and addressing these issues head on.

Our Personal Development and Support Team courses along with our live online and in person events provide tangible resources and guidance to help artists strengthen those parts of themselves and their relationships while empowering them with tools and skill sets to better navigate the music business, build a full time career and also enjoy a HEALTHY LIFE around music.

At NADU you receive real world/practical education that trains you to become an Elite Artist Entrepreneur at a fraction of the cost so that you can focus on what really matters and start your career fully educated and debt free.
