So, what's in it for you?
We nurture every single one of our employees, meaning this is a place for you to learn, develop and really mould your career within the music industry.

You'll be part of a driven and creative team and, because we're currently going through a really exciting period of growth, you'll be given the opportunity to help us define the company as we get bigger and better.
