Sam Guyton paid his college tuition with money from a music business he started in high school.He discussed how he started a thriving business in high school and a new one during the pandemic.has music and entrepreneurship in his blood. It was only a matter of time before Guyton, the child of a musician father and a realtor mother, stepped into his own spotlight.
Guyton, now 23, graduated from New York University's music-business program in May 2021. He used the savings from his performances and equipment work to pay his tuition, which was $53,310 in 2019, according to NYU., a New York corporate-entertainment company that provides orchestras, bands, and DJs for weddings, festivals, and private parties around the globe.

In high school, I danced, sang, and taught myself how to play guitar. I started a band called Generation Z, and we played at school pep rallies at first but soon moved to local venues around Milwaukee. By the time I was a senior, we were creating a business out of this band we started in high school — every kid's dream.
While studying the business, I still wanted to perform. I became a dancer for bar mitzvahs, joined jam sessions on MacDougal Street, and eventually auditioned and landed a full-time role with Vali Entertainment.
