Hi, my name is Amanda, i am currently a marketing student at University but i want to promote music once i graduate which will be in June. I was wondering if there was anybody that could give me any advice for trying to get into the music industry this way. I ove all kinds of music and want to promote live bands. Is there any way i can get experience with this? if anybody has any information about this would be great to hear from you!

Hi! What University are you at?

The first thing I'll say is that if you want to do it, it's most likely to be something that you'll have to do in your spare time - as its near impossible to get a paid job doing this.

If it is really want you want to though (similarly to me), get in touch with any local organizations who put on gigs - ask if you can help them out (you'll learn and build up contacts). If you have a bit more courage (and money) you could even start putting on your own night.

Drop me a line. My name is Cat and my myspace is: /thfoolishfire xx

Hello both of you,

what kind of music have you got in mind? I'm looking for a manager presently and maybe you would like to get some experience like that?

Hi Amanda

I work for a Syllabus Music and we specialise in helping students get into the music industry by working through us while at uni and gaining rewards (e.g. getting rent paid, music equipment)

If you sign up as an agent on www.syllabusmusic.com we can maybe talk about working together!

What Uni are you at?
