I 'volunteer' my time in music promotions

but after tomorrow, I'll be working in music management... band management to be precise.

 

[J-Man]

Lets see my day job is with a Fortune 500 company, it pays the bills right now, but I am also involved as one of the co-directors of TEXAS MADFEST, and this is my second year as a sponsor for PP. When I retire this year i will be doing full time promotions and productions, and also still helping NIGHTMARE records.

I work for a Fortune 500 company too, but it's as exciting as watching grass grow. My dream is to work in the music industry full-time someday.

It was a dream at one time but now I work for a real estate company and one night a month at a Rock Club.

[dcowboys311]

I don't work in the music business, but I hope to some day. I do a lot of volunteer type stuff, though. I help run a local music venue, set up bands/host the weekly live bands that we play on my college radio station, and I'm an in-training DJ at the same station.

I've tech'ed, played, and currently do stringed instrument repairs/mods as a second source of income, as well as just another "hobby".

cool cool. I guess I should give you my background since I'm the one who brought it up....

I do music publishing for a recording artist, as well as sample clearance for a lot of hip-hop albums and artist development. Guitar is my main thing too... gig around and do some session work.
