Getting Started

Since the very beginning, people have used the Music Industry’s byzantine, overly complicated structures to take advantage of artists and creatives. Even the most talented artists have signed bad deals, lost control of their work, missed out on millions – the list goes on. 

With the YPG Music Industry Curriculum, you will develop an understanding of how the music business works before, during, and after a song is written. YPG Executive Director Lawrence Grey interviews creatives and business professionals who will tell you how they play the game and make the structures of the music industry work for them, not against them.

While each person’s path through the industry is unique, you can draw upon the wisdom of these GRAMMY-winning, multi-platinum, and Billboard #1 professionals to get started in the right direction!
