Sony Music UK’s A&R Academy opens for applications
Sony Music UK’s A&R Academy is now open for applications, offering the chance for development in this specialised field at one of the UK’s most successful major labels.
The 12-month, paid opportunity forms part of the wider internship network at Sony Music UK. Successful applicants will be allocated a personal mentor and along with fellow interns, get the chance to attend ‘Spotlight Sessions’ to learn more about the mechanics of a major record company.
Day to day, members of the academy will be working closely with the A&R team who will develop their skillset through on-the-job training. Bespoke A&R training will be provided, covering a range of topics from music rights to data, music trends to studio and mixing sessions, artist development and what really goes into releasing a track.
The programme starts in March 2022 and is paid at the London Living Wage. Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK and be available for a full-time role for 12 months. Please note, this is an entry level role and not suitable for experienced industry professionals.
