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!

In this episode we talk with the person EVERY entry level label candidate wants to know, Charlotte Tindle! Charlotte works as a key part of the Talent Acquisition team at Sony Music in London, and just happens to be one of the kindest, warmest, and most approachable folks I’ve met in my music business career (yeah, you get it, we love Charlotte!) We spoke about her role recruiting right across the labels and different teams at Sony, and covered topics like the importance of optimism, knowing who you are, doing your research, and connecting with people on a personal level. She also dropped one of THE most brilliant pieces of inspo I’ve ever heard!! I was so delighted to be able to have this chat with the fabulous Charlotte, 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 each episode, we make a donation to a cause our guest cares about and Charlotte picked LOROS hospice care for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland https://loros.co.uk/ who
