I wanna get in the music industry

[Enchanted]

iight so I just started college and shyt. I'm majoring in Business but what I really want to do is something/anything music related. Whether it's working for Def Jam, blogging, A&R'ing or that type of shyt. I've seen that lifestyle and it's something I'm interested in.

So what I want to know is, what would be a good major for that? Let's say I stuck with business, what particular field would help me get in there after I graduated? Should I switch to a journalism major or something? Help me out coli brehs.

Friend of mine was part of the promotions team at Virgin Music from 2000-2007..you get access to alot of parties, industry stuff, he would bring me along.

Shyt was eyeopening at the time. Alot of the artists we think are makin it happen are actually in the red and making nothing.

Industry as a whole is very saturated but if you feel passionate about it then follow ya dreams breh

what musical instrument can you play?

I can kinda play the piano and flute. I'm not tryna get in as an artist. Just something in the industry. Whether it's working at a studio, interning for a while, etc.

So someone like Elliott Wilson is broke? What about the bloggers from sites like hiphopnmore, complex, etc. that go to different cities, states, countries for events and that type of shyt? Cause I love hip-hop so much. I breathe this shyt.

In statistics, an outlier is an observation that is numerically distant from the rest of the data.

But honestly like i said, if you passionate about it follow ya dreams. I'm not discouraging you one bit.
