Background
You don't have to be a musician to work in the music industry. Every label needs people to handle finances, marketing, public relations, human resources, recording, engineering, touring, and other key roles. There are also many music based positions in companies that aren't record labels such as film studios, marketing firms, talent agencies, and live event promoters.
If are looking for record label jobs, Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, and Sony Music are the three major music labels which dominate the industry. Many of the employment opportunities you'll find will be with these companies or one of their subsidiaries. Most music jobs are concentrated in Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York City, but there are numerous opportunities in many cities as well as remote and abroad.
