What People are Saying about MPN

"MPN is the best resource for independent musicians who want to take their career to the next level. My goal for “Debbie and Friends” is to connect musically with as many families as possible via national tours, while maximizing my catalog’s potential through music publishing, licensing, distribution, merchandise, and music teaching opportunities. MPN has all of the resources I need to help me achieve my goals. It’s exactly what I have been looking for."
Debbie Cavalier - MPN Member

"A clear a vision of the future of the music industry as you will find: a solid grounding in the traditional practices of the music business, an up-to-the-minute knowledge of the new technologies that are changing it, and the ability to think through the consequences. I can’t think of anything more important for artists to get the full re-orientation they need to survive and prosper in the digital era."
Stephen Hill - Hearts of Space

""Music business today is not for beginners. It is an open field where there are lots of opportunities for artists and professionals, but where there are very few right answers. MPN is the best way to go from beginner to pro in this brave new world of possibilities. Designed by Dave Kusek, who foresaw this new scenario more than 5 years ago, in his book about the Future of Music, MPN was key for me to choose and develop the 360 degree label business model for Borandá. MPN helps turn inspiration into action for serious people who want to thrive in this new reality, regardless if you are a musician or a entrepreneur.""
Fernando Grecco / Entrepreneur

"Dave Kusek has an amazing grasp of where today’s music business resides, where its been and where its going. He has a unique ability with factual analysis to cut through the hype and buzz and give us all a clear picture of what is actually taking place in today’s environment."
Terry McBride - Nettwerk CEO

"Terry Mcbride is a genius. He articulated some of the most dynamic and innovative concepts pertaining to the music industry that I have ever heard. This video has opened my mind to new models of thinking about producing and distributing music. For example, the notion of 'cause alignment', "Karma Marketing' as well as the 'à la carte' 360 menu of Nettwerk. It seems that the boxy and unforgiving structures of previous industry templates are shifting into a much more organic, body-centered way of connecting various components of music management. Finally, the 'OM' of the music business is here. Just a wonderful and insightful video."
