Music Commission News

From artist management to PR and promotion, live sound and music events to recording studios, event management and music licensing, the Industry Internship Programme has provided more than 80 opportunities for Interns so far.

“The Internship Programme is extremely valuable to the New Zealand music industry. Not only does it allow the Intern a foot in the door and a chance to make connections, it allows companies the chance to develop new ideas, gain a new perspective and free up time to be able to focus on long term strategies. If you’re in the music industry we highly recommend taking part in this invaluable initiative.”
– Sacha Vee, SOLE Music Academy – Host Organisation 2021/22
