One step into the music industry/I got hired by Sony BMG!

[Captain M4d]

Yes, that is correct! Today I got hired by Sony BMG as a college representative for the my city's area. I'm going to get paid to promote music!

And in late March, Columbia Records is paying for me and all the other college reps to meet up in NYC for some industry talks and previews of upcoming music on all of Sony's labels.

I'm so excited about this! I'm not the biggest fan of major record labels, but I see this as a great opportunity to learn about the music industry and meet a lot of great people.

Music has always been my number one passion in life, and it's great to feel that someday I'll probably be able to make a living on something I love to do.

If you feel passionate about something and you really want to pursue, do not let "real work" get in the way. I am almost 20 and I have yet to hold a full-time job yet, and I'm working for Sony now. I couldn't hold a full-time job for the past two years because I was busy meeting people in the local music scene, volunteering and interning for music venues, writing for local music websites, and being very involved in the local music scene in general. If I hadn't done all these things and met the people that I have, I wouldn't have been hired by Sony BMG today.

Real determination can bring real results.

That's all.

:cheese:

To reiterate:

YOUUUUU SUCK

Now that you work for BMG, you can make pissy remarks about videos on YouTube and get accounts suspended. ME FIRST!

Yeh thats the view I take too, Im 20 and in uni, never had a job, because im just trying to buy as much time as possible so my band could possibly get the possbility of going full time on a contract, i.e. playing enough and being payed enough to live off the band, certainly getting there but will still be a while I think.

I can't see myself doing anything other than playing music, I really can't.

Well done mate. Great to see how the world works eh?

 

[jet_porkins]

Whoa, that's rad.

I plan on being a music educator soon as I'm done with college, so we can relate when it comes to living a career through the medium of music.

That is fantastic news, I'm glad you've landed such a great opportunity.

Did you have to sign the contract with blood?
