Label MBA: Practical Training for Independent Artists and Labels

Label MBA is an online program for independent artists, label founders, and music entrepreneurs. It shows you how to build and run a successful music business.

Who It’s For

Label MBA is for anyone who wants to start a label, release music or grow a music business.

What They Teach

  • How to make money from music
  • Daily business operations
  • Marketing for releases and brands
  • Artist development
  • Copyright and royalties
  • Music tech and AI tools

My Role

It’s part of Factory Music Group, and I help because artists need real, practical help — not just fancy papers. It’s not a college degree; it’s a toolbox of real-world skills so more independent creators can do great things.

Looking Ahead

Forget the diplomas — Label MBA is all about practical skills. We’re built on hands-on, real-world training so more independent creators can thrive. We are looking to train the next generation of executives on every continent.
