39m · SocialFIXT Radio · 10 Jan 17:42

In Episode One of SocialFixt Podcast, we chat to Velma Simmons, Business Development Manager at Warner Music and Founder of L.I.F.E Talks UK, a platform designed to help people push past the discouragement that can come with trying to break into the entertainment industry and inspire the next generation of up and coming creative minds in the UK.


Long time friends, Velma and Mercedes chat about how pivotal they have been to one another’s career journeys, highlighting the ways in which friendships can serve not just personal but professional growth.


In this episode, Velma Simmons shares everything from her wins: securing internships by snooping in instagram comments to moments that felt like losses: crying in the staff room at her bank job when she thought she’d never make the leap into the music industry. Perseverance is the key word in this episode.


We also chat with Kyle and Tiah, interns at Warner Music about the joys of breaking into an awesome role, the challenges that come even when working in a dream role and get their tips for securing that coveted internship.


This episode is sponsored by Warner Music in partnership with SocialFixt.
