NYU-Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music

NYU-Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music Training music industry leaders and creative entrepreneurs since 2003. Students who enroll have a wide range of aspirations.

We encourage students to develop innovative musical ideas and envision new music business models, work collaboratively, cultivate both intellectual rigor and a willingness to experiment artistically, and to assume leadership roles in the art and commerce of creating and selling recorded music. We are newly located in Brooklyn, at 370 Jay Street - NYU's new home for engineers, research scientists,

game designers, media artists, and musicians to interact and collaborate under one roof. We are proud to be contributing to NYU's goal of becoming the world center for technology innovation and creative engineering. Some aspire to become CEOs of record labels or management companies. Some aspire to become music producers who helm successful production companies. And others are performing artists, songwriters, publishers, social entrepreneurs, tech innovators, and music journalists who want to develop their business acumen so that they might build a successful brand.

Dear Greater Clive Davis Institute Community,

Yesterday, at one of New York's most beautiful houses of worship, Central Synagogue, Mr. Davis' life was celebrated in a service officiated by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl. It was a most fitting tribute that moved everyone present. The breadth of his impact was unmistakable. Alongside the Davis family, hundreds of people from every walk of life filled that great sanctuary, united in honoring a man whose many decades of work left an everlasting mark on popular music and culture—his advocacy and philanthropy in the arts, social causes, education, and research will continue to be a lasting influence for generations to come. His legacy will live on at the Institute that bears his name.

Respectfully,
Nick Sansano, Chair
Clive Davis Institute
NYU Tisch School of the Arts
New York University

If you would like to see the service in its entirety, it is provided in our Linktree in bio.

Congrats to our Class of 2026! 💫
