Event Description: 

I started out interning at Smith Music Group in Ft. Worth in May 2004. They're a largely TX Country label and they do all of the "Live at Billy Bob's" albums. From there, I interned at UMGD in Dallas (Universal Music Group Distribution Branch) with the Country Artist Development Rep, Ben Richardson. He was in charge of regional marketing for the artists on the Country label rosters that fall under the UMG umbrella. I graduated college in December 2007 and between my last 2 semesters of my senior year, I moved to Nashville for the summer and interned in the Promotion Department of Universal Music Group-Nashville. Prior to that internship, I knew next to nothing about the vast world of Radio and Promotion. It was definitely an eye-opening experience! I went back to Texas, interned with Ben again my final semester of college and then two days after I graduated, I flew to Nashville to interview for the job of Promotion Coordinator at a new label called The Valory Music Co. Now I am working at Kobalt and loving it.
