Interests/Aspirations:

My main aspiration is to work as a talent scount or advertiser for a record company. To further this aspiration I took up one weeks work experience with the record label Drowned in Sound Recordings. This label also runs Europe's biggest independent music website, drownedinsound.com. Whilst working with Drowned In Sound I was responsible not only for helping out with the record label side of things, but I was also asked to contribute to the website in the form of writing news stories and music reviews. I enjoyed the week I spent working there and feel it has cemented my hope of working within the industry.
Music is my main interest and I like to spend my spare time listening to music or going to gigs and festivals to see live music (though sadly I cannot play anything myself due to lack of talent).
