Master Your Moment

In a highly competitive music industry, securing internships can be the key to launching a successful career. Breaking the Mold offers music students in Los Angeles and abroad a comprehensive, actionable blueprint to land internships using both traditional routes-such as university connections and industry programs-and non-traditional approaches like personal branding, social media, and entrepreneurial projects.
 This book emphasizes the importance of cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset-hunger, resilience, innovation-and encourages students to challenge the status quo to stand out from the crowd. Through real-life success stories, strategic advice, and practical tips, readers will learn how to navigate industry politics, leverage their unique talents, and develop the boldness needed to break barriers and seize opportunities in a fiercely competitive environment.
 Whether you're a student looking to maximize your internship prospects or an educator seeking to inspire a new generation of innovative musicians, Breaking the Mold is your essential guide to forging a distinctive, successful career in music.
