Internship Responsibilities & Expectations:

An internship is a job, and how you show up reflects your work ethic, professionalism, and ability to follow direction.

This internship is ideal for someone looking to learn by doing and gain real hands-on experience through completing tasks that are assigned to them.

A major part of learning happens through completing actionable tasks that will be given to you to complete as well as through observation.

When you're asked to complete tasks, it’s your responsibility to complete them as an intern.

This experience is meant to help you grow by stepping up, being dependable, and developing habits that prepare you for a professional career and your work ethic. Your participation is required to be in this program.

The studio is run by Joseph Brooks, a working music producer with years of experience helping artists grow. Joseph was mentored by Grammy-nominated producer !llmind (credits include Drake, J. Cole, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, and more) and shares that knowledge directly with interns and his online music community.

We work in genres such as Pop, Indie, Rock, Synthpop, Disco Pop, R&B, Funk, and more. We also collaborate with independent artists worldwide via platforms like Groover, offering professional feedback and playlist curation.

Main DAWs: Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Reason
