Has anyone else done this or something similiar? hit me wwit sum feedback......peace

this would definitely give you an outlet to work on your career. or should i say jump start your career. connect with people. know faces. try to let people listen to what you have to say. but also, try not to be too offensive and too in-your-face about it. over-all its a good learning experience and its definitely a foot in the door. the money will come later! dont be like them foolz on makin' the band! (haha)

by the way, how did you get the interview?? did u go through your school or something or did you just call up the record label? im in LA and i was thinking of trying to come up with the same situation. hit me back up or email me at th3dworldrecords@comcast.net


P.E.A.C.E.

i was surfin on da net on a site called monstertak..(its kinda like monster cept for its for people in or recently graduted college) for music industry jobs and that was one that came up..it was pretty random. i emailed them my resume and cover letter(which explained that i was a young dude,motivated entrepeneur, mad determined to suceed in tha music business and allthat) and they emailed me back the next day..they did want college credit for the inetrnship and luckily i was able to get it (im just 3 credits from graduatin and it was on mad short notice) but yeah man i hope this shit works out aight..im mad broke and nyc is not the place to be broke....lol

Hey,

AWESOME! I wish you the best of luck, I'm sure you'll have a blast. Sure, your ass will be broke for a while, but thousands upon thousands of white hippies and ghetto kids have lived off diets of Ramen and Kool Aid for decades, you'll get through it.

You'll probably be someone's bitch there for a while, but if you go there pretending to be a sponge, you'll learn a lot.

Take care,

Nick

PS What are you getting your degree in?

 

[Ash Holmz]

communications.......minor in business management

so what you're trying to say is that the internship has to be accredited by your classes?? so this means, usually, the business classes right? this sucks! im a medical major!

 

[Ash Holmz]

naw...any class just as long as you can get credit..it has to do with your school, not your major, im sure if you went to your advisor and was like i wanna do this they would say it was aight

When you get down here to the city Holmzini give me shout maybe we can do a non pc collabo

Holmzini, I suggest that you jump on any opportunity that makes itself avaviliable. I also suggest that you don't give any of your beats away just incase theres some small print (remember, industry rule #4080) somewhere that you sign all rights to the school for anything that you make while you're there or any period of time after you leave. (That is unless you have a collection of giveaway beats that don't mean alot to you.) Nevertheless, any exposure to the business is a good thing and I encourage it. It looks good in a portfolio too. Good luck and best wishes...
