Our Mission
Music Artist Universities mission is to inspire, educate, and provide resources to all levels of music artist in search of a safe space of becoming all they desire to be.
Music Artist University was founded by Suzann Christine Henry. As she maneuvered through the music industry as a young independent artist who had no guidance, mentorship or direction starting out, she later on began to attain a level of success many independent artist would hope to attain. She realized just how much she needed to help others learn what she has been learning. She questioned, "Who is teaching us what this industry really truly is about? Why am I finding out about things years later?" So instead of withholding the information she has gathered, she chooses to share it with those who are willing to learn.
Music Artist University is a safe space to learn from well known music industry professionals who have had years of experience and a great level of success in the music business. MAU, sets out to prepare your mind and equip you with the knowledge, connections and resources to help propel your career forward. MAU is a collective community who aims to change the narrative of being apart of an abusive industry who takes advantage of artist who are unaware. We share our stories, our issues, our success, our experiences and learn from them. Most importantly, we point you in the right direction and offer solutions to fund your music, get booked for shows, cultivate your online presence and brand, build relationships properly, protect yourself and correctly release your music.
