A weekend intensive webinar for the Independent artist looking to make a social impact while building generational wealth.

October 16th, 17th, & 18th, MUniversity Studies will launch their 2nd Bootcamp entitled “Put Yourself On” Part II: By Indie Means Necessary! This Bootcamp will focus on entrepreneurship, creative resilience and the future of black music & culture amidst the social revolution that is taking place in the United States and across the globe. The weekend will consist of panels, one-on-one conversations, prayer circles, and classes on a range of topics that cover the Indie music gamut. PYSO Bootcamp part II will offer a  wealth of information for attendees to devour from the music industry’s most prolific thinkers and change makers.

MUniversity’s founder, Mumu Fresh, chose the title “Put Yourself On” as a call to action for artists to stop waiting for opportunities but instead start working together to create opportunities for each other. Many artists pace aimlessly throughout their careers waiting for a “big break”. They wait to be “Put On” because they don’t know the right steps to take to ‘put themselves on’. MUniversity is actively spearheading a movement of self-reliance and radically reimagined independent blueprints for a new generation of visionaries.

The premiere “PYSO” bootcamp was held in June of 2020 and the feedback from attendees was filled with emotion and overwhelming gratitude. Students revealed that their major takeaways ranged from new found creative inspiration, to cutting edge knowledge and tips concerning business strategies and tools for immediate progress that were so insightful, they felt like they were receiving insider secrets. Here’s what one bootcamp attendee had to say: Watch Now!
