Parker Days Festival was a blast this year and we had the honor to welcome the Kory Brunson Band to our stage. I was excited to see that he joined us in our beautiful town of Parker. Kory Brunson is one of the reasons I found my own personal passion as a musician and vocalist. It was great to connect with him, find out more about his lifestyle as a songwriter and hear about a new program he’s developed called Nashville Artist Development University (NADU).

Kory is a passionate performer, husband, father, friend and mentor. He firmly believes that there is a path to success for those passionate about music and songwriting. Talking to Kory about his wife, Meggin and two boys, Konner and Mitchell is an inspiration in itself and the foundation for how he has discovered a successful lifestyle as a musician.

In context to who he is outside of his career with his family, Kory says, “I’m the guy that gives the dippin' dots, unconditional love, the nightly tuck-ins. I’m also created by God. That’s who I am.” Kory’s success is grounded in putting his family first while also enjoying the art of songwriting and performance. That is where NADU begins. Kory has an innate passion to educate young songwriters and musicians so they can start their music career right and create a lifestyle they can be proud of.

“I want them to keep those stars in their eyes, but not so much that they blind them to other things and realities. Do it the right way. Learn how to be an entrepreneur, learn how to be a business person, learn how to stay in control of your life and soul. Then pursue your dreams. But get the information you need,” he shares.

NADU is created to equip aspiring musical artists with a healthy perspective of success, prepare them for different phases of business and fame as well as know who they are at every turn.

“You have to take time to discover who you are, not decide who you are,” Kory shares this from his own experience. NADU gets into the bolts of the music business. They address all aspects of running a business legally with financial wisdom and integrity.

Kory and his family have proven you can find a successful lifestyle within the music industry. NADU helps you discover yourself as a musician and live your wildest dreams with those you love. NADUniversity.com
