Music Business Department – RH House University

Course Introduction

The Indie Artistry course is a dynamic program tailored for self-driven creatives who aspire to thrive as independent recording artists. It combines the core elements of recording artistry (vocals, songwriting, composition) with the essentials of music production and business management, empowering students to create, produce, release, and manage their own music independently.  

The course is ideal for singer-songwriters, bedroom producers, indie worship artists, creative content composers, and artist-entrepreneurs. With strong foundations in scriptwriting and storytelling, students are also equipped to expand into musical theatre, film scoring, and spoken word production.
