The Clive Davis Institute stands as the pioneering and exclusive program offering comprehensive business and artistic education for a BFA in Recorded Music. Our mission is to equip students with essential business, creative, and intellectual tools, empowering them to become forward-thinking creative leaders in the dynamic global music landscape.
We inspire students to pioneer fresh musical concepts, reimagine industry frameworks, collaborate effectively, balance analytical thinking with artistic exploration, and take charge in shaping the future of music production and distribution. Our new Brooklyn location at 370 Jay Street places us at the heart of NYU's innovative hub, where engineers, researchers, game developers, media creators, and musicians converge to collaborate. We're honored to support NYU's vision of establishing a global epicenter for technological advancement and creative engineering.
Our diverse student body pursues varied ambitions. Some aim to lead major record labels or artist management firms. Others strive to become influential music producers heading prominent production houses. Additionally, we nurture performing artists, songwriters, publishing professionals, social innovators, technology pioneers, and music journalists seeking to sharpen their business skills for successful brand development.
