How to Get A Job in the Music Business

The music industry is growing, and it needs hardworking professionals to build the future of entertainment. 

Do you want to live the dream? Do you want to wake up every day to find you’re required to spend the majority of your waking time thinking about, working on, listening to, or otherwise indulging in music? That may seem out of reach, but it’s not.

Landing a job in music is not easy, but it is entirely doable. The digital age has made it possible for more people than ever to find work in the industry, with new jobs being created virtually every week, and that means your chances of landing the career you’re seeking have never been better.

In this episode of Music Biz 101, host James Shotwell breaks down the information you need to know to land a career in the music business. James explains his own path to success and offers many alternatives as well because no two people have the same “making it” story. Check it out:
