EDM Label Intern — A&R, Content & Marketing

September 8 - December 11 | Hybrid, Santa Monica | Unpaid, for college credit only

You know Breakaway Festival. Now get inside the label.

Breakaway Projects is the independent label arm of one of the largest electronic music festival brands in the country. We sign artists, run campaigns, and build culture, and this fall, we're bringing in a small team of interns to do it with us.

Run social accounts built around EDM culture

Pitch artists directly in A&R meetings

Help craft marketing and content material for signed label artists

Research DSP pitching and playlist partnership opportunities

Shape live content with your trend calls and campaign ideas

Roughly 16 to 20 hours a week, with in-office days in Santa Monica twice a week and the rest remote on your own time. You'll get a chance to explore all aspects of how a label runs, not just one lane.

Who We're Looking For
One real strength and the willingness to learn is enough.

Content creator who can film and edit short form video (CapCut or similar)

Deeply online and quick to spot trends across TikTok and Instagram

Real taste in electronic and dance music

Clear communicator who shows up and follows through

What You'll Be Doing
Content & Social
Film, edit, and post across all four accounts, and help build out the visual identity of each.

A&R Scouting
Flag emerging artists each week with links, momentum signals, and why they fit the Breakaway sound.

Indie Playlisting Partnerships

Marketing & Trends

What You'll Walk Away With
