Malta has become one of the filmmakers dream in 1964 when the Mediterranean Film Studios opened and water tanks have become commercial property.

Malta has high seas and coastal picturesque. It is 58 miles south of Sicily and has a population of 385,000.

Business Employment dream of music.?

What is the best way to get involved with the music industry? I would like be able to slowly work my way in this business. I'll finish a year at my current university (first year) and let go a local community college to take business classes while doing internships around my OR finish area until the year then go to Full Sail University in Florida. I want to manage groups / visits or own my own recording studio (possibly) or a club that tapes and the books. Advice on how to make this a successful job?

The best way to get involved in the music business my experience is to start work in certain sectors of the industry as a trainee. A music business education may be useful, but there's nothing that replaces know people and have relevant work experience if I would make is that I would approach local businesses – clubs, radio stations, promoters etc and ask them if they have internship programs in exchange for college credit. If this does not find a local big band and your time to be a part of their street team or doing promotions and marketing for them in exchange for meeting their business contacts and free access to their shows. Most people I know in the company began to work very humble got a foot in the door and climbed the ladder. Hope that helps, Rick
