Students See the Business Side of Music in New York Internships
Some interns go on coffee runs, answer phones and file papers. That’s not the case for commercial music majors Mallory Wynne and Spencer Myler. From attending concerts to meeting upcoming artists, their summer has been anything but a run-of-the-mill internship.
Both Wynne and Myler are interning at Universal Music Group, one of the leading music groups in the world. They have signed stars like Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Kanye West and U2 among others.
Wynne and Myler believe the experiences they’ve had over the summer will enable them to be successful in their future careers.
