Careers site launches music industry guide
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 5 September 2011
Careers charity icould has teamed up with BlackBerry to launch an online guide to working in the music business. The website includes interviews with and advice from EMI’s Miles Leonard and Janet Choudry, and NME’s Krissi Murison, among others, plus opportunities to win work experience in the music space, including on music video and photo shoots.
icould Director David Arnold told CMU: “‘Music Insiders’ aims to give young people the confidence to follow their passion in music, by considering careers beyond the spotlight that are often more accessible, better paid, longer lasting and just as rewarding as the careers of the artists themselves”.
Meanwhile Stephen Bates, UK MD of BlackBerry owners Research In Motion, added: “We’re proud to support icould and its commitment to young people through inspiration, encouragement and discovery. The UK has one of the most dynamic and exciting economies in the world and this project highlights just some of the career opportunities available in music and entertainment. The videos provide insight and advice, and are a great resource for young people considering a career in the industry”.
