Record Label Confessions

home ask theme
I work in marketing at a Big 4 label and oversee A&R, HR, sales, and marketing at an indie.

Want to know what it's like to work at a label? Want to sign a record deal? Have a general music question? Ask away!

…so, who am I?

This is who I am:

  • Former music journalist and photographer for a few well-known publications.
  • Gave it up to dabble in event production; associate produced a few major festivals. 
  • Quit that to work in the marketing department of a Big 4 label. 
  • Fell into an upper management job at an indie label. I oversee sales, marketing, A & R, and hiring. (Don’t tell, but this is my favorite job!)

This is why I’m here:

  • I’m sick of getting horrible emails and resumes from potential employees and interns.
  • Spoiler alert: if you find my email address and send me mp3s, you will be blacklisted. That shit is really annoying. 
  • I think my broad industry experience could actually be beneficial. This sounds both tacky and pompous, but I’ve been there and I like answering questions — plus, I’m looking forward to ranting about what not to do if you want to work in the music industry.
