A Vision for Informed, Empowered Young Creators
Founded by Dasha Ware, Music Business Kids of America Inc. was built on a simple but urgent belief:
Young creators deserve knowledge before opportunity — and protection before contracts.
With over two decades of experience across music, marketing, publishing, and education, Dasha recognized a critical gap: youth are encouraged to dream about careers in music, but are rarely equipped with the literacy, mindset, and business understanding required to navigate the industry responsibly.
Through the 12-Book Industry Series, curriculum-based programming, mentorship, and hands-on career exposure, her vision is to create a national pipeline of informed, confident, and ownership-driven young creators
Creators who understand contracts before they sign them.
Creators who understand revenue before they release.
Creators who understand mindset before they chase visibility.
Her mission is not just to inspire participation in the music industry — but to prepare youth to navigate it strategically, ethically, and sustainably — both on stage and behind the scenes.

From Our Partner“Dasha‘s preparation and execution is incomparable. Her programming for young people hit the mark and then some. She was able to bring in industry, legends and experts to support our young people‘s learning and engage them fully.
Never have I seen so many young people as engaged for consecutive hours as they were in every program and workshop.
Thank you so much for your care and attention to really meet young people and engage them thoroughly.”
