Four ventures, built to stand on their own.
Each division of The MusicSquared Group has a distinct focus — education, media, digital platforms, and commerce — supported by shared brand and infrastructure.
Performing Arts Education
The Group's education division delivers career-focused training for performers at every stage — through a connected family of programs designed to build real, working skills.
- The New York Performing Arts Academy (NYPAA) — foundational and advanced training across voice, acting, dance, and musicianship.
- The Conservatory at NYPAA — an intensive, multi-disciplinary track for committed pre-professional artists.
- The NYPAA Experience — an immersive summer intensive for domestic and international students.
Education programs are delivered in partnership with The MusicSquared Foundation, Inc.
MusicSquared Inc.
MusicSquared Inc. is the Group's music label and distribution business. It signs and develops artists, produces and releases recordings, and manages masters through full-label partnerships — turning creative talent into released, distributed work.

Vertiq℠ In development
Tap. Watch. Repeat.℠
Vertiq is a vertical-drama streaming and discovery platform — a studio venture built for the way audiences watch today. It brings independently produced short-form, vertical dramas to a wide audience and backs the titles that show real promise.
Think of it as a home for vertical storytelling: a place to discover new series, follow breakout creators, and surface the stories worth investing in. Vertiq is currently in development, with more to share as the platform takes shape.
