New Artist Model has changed my life forever. This is the best investment you can make for your career. It’s a leap of faith you have to take. The knowledge has given me so much confidence. How much is your dream worth? Priceless. After I applied Dave’s YouTube strategy my videos started to really take off. This last one has over 200,000 views!”
“I love what Dave is doing. It is intelligent. heart driven and serves the demands of an industry in flux. His empowering techniques are the foundation. The New Artist Model is refreshing. Dave correctly nailed the genre that we are running with for the song I Am Light (Celestial pop) which is currently finding a home on Top 40 radio formats in 15 countries and growing.”
“GREAT NEWS !!! You guys know I’ve been on tour, right, so for the months of March and April, I’ve been able to cover my rent AND my gas AND my food and other expenses through MY MUSIC !! I AM OFFICIALLY MAKING A LIVING DOING WHAT I LOVE ! Merci Dave ! your advice and inspiration has been invaluable to me ! keep pushing indie artists like me in that direction ;)”
“New Artist Model gives me a much better view of how the music industry really works. I use it to develop my own strategy to reach my personal goals using tools that are well within my reach. I’ve seen that my dreams are ACTUALLY possible! And though it’s a long way, I know what steps to take.”
“NAM is awesome. Dave is awesome. I’ve learned to be the centre of a community (not a distant superstar , that the ‘story’ is AS important as the content in engaging an audience and that anything is possible. My musical career has gained momentum mostly because of the strategies NAM has helped me put in place to engage an audience, build my network, and plan my future. So, THANK YOU for helping me pay the bills with a career in music. This is the life I want, love and cherish.”
“Artists can’t do everything, at least not at the same time. I’ve already started to strengthen my team in the first 3 weeks. it’s easy to fit in the schedule, accessible, entertaining, and insightful. I can login from phone, computer, etc. I wanted a system to MOVE forward in earning, credibility, and leveraging time to make an impact and this is it.”
“Your course has changed my life. I must tell you that it was because of you and your gentle and supportive energy that my instincts told be to JOIN this group. This experience has introduced me to some of the most wonderful and giving individuals I’ve met to date. If I did nothing else with this course I would already call this a huge success. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“The Indie Artist Network has been greatly helpful to me. It’s so nice to be a part of a community of artists who are trying to do the same thing as I am. Dave Kusek also actively participates and it’s really so very helpful and I’m grateful!”
“Each lesson has surprised me with incredibly valuable advice. Dave has accomplished miracles in assembling so much valuable information in one course. I can’t speak highly enough about the value of the Program! Just the Facebook video alone is worth the price of the course! Having a unified strategy across platforms makes so much sense. Start it, you will be glad you did!”
“You have been such a great help and mentor since we joined the beginning of this year, and we greatly appreciate you. We are looking forward to this journey doing what we love and sharing love of music to the world!”
“Hey Guys, I bought Dave Kusek’ New Artist Model program knowing absolutely nothing about the music industry and now several months later I am confidently managing my 19 yr old daughter Kristen’s music career. Dave Kusek here’s a big thank you all the way from Barbados!“

Make Music Your Full Time Career
Dave Kusek
For the past two decades, I’ve been teaching music business and music management to musicians from all over the globe through my books, live events, and online classes. I’m the founder Passport Music Software, Berklee Online, and co-author of the best selling music business book “The Future of Music”.
I’ve had the honor of guiding tens of thousands of musicians through the ever-changing landscape of the Music Business, enabling them to build successful, sustainable music careers.
This is what I want for you.
And with the New Artist Model training program, I am certain that you too can make your musical dreams a reality, no matter what stage you’re at in your music career right now.
The Concepts you’ll find in the New Artist Model are truly on the leading edge of the music business. It’s all about putting POWER into the hands of the artist like never before, by helping you develop a crystal-clear vision of your career goals, then giving you a strategy for bringing that vision to Life.
Whether you want to market your music locally and play blow-out shows, build and monetize your online following, get monthly checks in the mail for publishing royalties and sync licensing, or create some combination of them all…
The New Artist Model will show you how. All you have to do is follow steps laid out for you in your Career Map, and if you put in the work, you cannot fail.
Yes — it DOES take WORK — so if you’ve still got your heart set on finding a quick-and-easy free ride to fame and riches, do us both a favor and close out of this page.
