ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Stinkiface Music, LLC, a Baltimore based record label is presenting a special opportunity for two enthusiastic, hard working individuals interested in becoming a part of the region’s music scene. Learn from professionals who are already successfully making a living in music and entertainment by becoming interns at Stinkiface Music. We want an intern with a passion for the behind-the scenes business workings of the music industry – someone interested in royalties, percentages, points, contracts, etc. We also want an intern with a passion for the face-to-face workings of the music industry – someone interested in marketing, public relations, promotion, artist development, etc. Both positions will include the administrative tasks that are crucial to the day-to-day operations of any successful business, and will allow for extensive opportunities to network with others in the entertainment industry. This opportunity would be ideal for college students interested in entertainment currently majoring in Music, Marketing, Advertising, Law, Accounting, Public Relations, or Business Administration. Interns will be asked to commit at least 15 hours per week to the internship, with some flexibility in scheduling permitted.
