Promoter Chuck Morris’ Music Business Program: Learning The Industry From The Pros
By Ryan Moran | Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat once observed that “Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.” If that sentiment is accurate, however, then why is there such a deficit of funding for the arts in the United States today?
Colorado State University has taken an alternative approach to this question, by creating the College of Music Business. Never before has there been an accredited path like this to get to the forefront of the music industry. Today’s global recorded music market stands at roughly $20—21 billion for this year alone, so where is the training for the people in management or promotion?

“Around October 2019, Chuck told me he was starting a new music business program at dinner before a Brittany Howard show,” Dahl remembered. “It became clear that I was a good candidate for the position…
