Music Promotions and Marketing ?

Question by Gosh By Golly It’s J.Gill: Music Promotions and Marketing ?
I really wanna get into promotions and marketing as far as the music biz goes but idk where 2 start. I jus graduated highskool and plan in majorin in Marketing during college. I live close 2 philly n new york so I figured i should join a street team and see where that takes me. But is there anything else i can do to get my foot in the door? How can I join a street team (hip hop, r&b)?

The best thing to do at this point, by far, is improve the quality of your education. Get great grades at school, join an honor society, and go above and beyond to specialize in something within your discipline. You may not know how to do this until you’ve gotten a marketing class under you. That’s fine.

Until then, I don’t suggest joining a street team. Any warm body with no talent can join a street team. But it takes an intrepid young lass to find someone working in the kind of job you’d like, call them up, and persuade them to let you “job shadow” for about a year and help with the daily tasks 🙂
