In this episode I was excited to be chatting with the wonderful Luke Chiswell, International Marketing Manager at Believe. It’s always such a joy to chat with Luke, not only is he great energy but he’s always open to new ways of growing and developing to be better at what he does and what he can offer. In his current role Luke leads global campaigns for UK artists across Europe, the US and APAC at Believe, but began his career as an intern at Universal Music before moving into international marketing at Warner working on priority frontline campaigns. Now at Believe, Luke adapts strategy across different territories to maximise global impact. We discussed so many things, including how to best show up every day, navigating unexpected (and unplanned) changes at work, the importance of adaptability, and making micro-movements for your career development. It was SO good to chat with Luke in this episode, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did, whether you’re just starting out or already well on your music business career path :)

In this episode I was delighted to chat with the super smart, engaging and insightful Chloé Van Bergen, VP Operations UK & EU at Secretly Group. It was a real honour to have Chloé on the pod, she’s had such an incredible career journey, working across some of the most renowned indie labels including Secretly Group, Domino Recordings and Partisan Records. She’s an absolute powerhouse, so knowledgeable, an analytical thinker, astute, and an all-round impressive human who I have no doubt will continue to do great work! I absolutely loved listening to her and discussing what she had to say in this episode, so I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did, whether you’re just starting out or already well on your music business career path :)

In this episode, we’re sharing an awesome live panel we did back in July 2026 with Sony Music UK and Creative Mentor Network which was all about entry-level careers in the music business, with a focus on Sony Music UK and their fabulous internship programme. Applications for Sony Music UK’s internship scheme (starting January 2027) open on August 10th 2026 at 10am and close on August 24th 2026 at 10am.

We had loads of amazing and engaged folks in the room but as numbers were limited, we thought we’d put this panel out so you all can hear the fab advice that came from our insightful and inspiring panellists Asma Abdu (Digital Marketing Manager, Robots + Humans), Charlotte Tindle (Talent Acquisition, Sony Music), Shanice Edwards (A&R Manager, Since ’93/RCA), and your old pal Silv, (Silvia Gargiulo, Founder of BIY People & Talent).

For more info on the roles that are available and how to apply, check out the Sony Music UK website. Best of luck to everyone who’s applying this year!
