RECORD LABEL
INTERNSHIP RECAP
Interns dove deep into the world of artist recruitment and development (i.e., A&R), music publishing, and everything involved in building a business from the ground up—from developing a mission statement to designing the website and general branding. And what better way to gain lifelong experience than working directly with up-and-coming musicians to help release and market their songs? That’s what we thought, too.

The following music videos represent the internship for what it really evolved into: six unique tracks working side by side to amplify the voices of teen girls and gender-expansive youth in the music industry. Creating and releasing these music videos involved every track—from Photography to Social Media—with Syryn Records as the focal point, project-managing the collaboration and progress. For example, the Recording Artist, Record Label, and Photography interns shared their goals and unique visions to create the videos together, keeping in mind each individual artist’s branding. Once the videos were created, the Record Label interns worked with the Social Media, Journalism, and even Podcasting interns to coordinate efforts (marketing, interviews, press releases, etc.) to drum up excitement over the songs’ and videos’ release…
From start to finish, these videos (and so much more of this internship) highlight our teens’ passion for working together as empathetic leaders in order to create a music industry they’re proud to be part of. An industry and record label founded on supporting each other’s visions and putting young artists at the forefront of their own creations. Please enjoy the following fruits of Syryn Records’ collaborative and totally youth-directed labor.
“I just can't believe my fellow Record Label interns and I did all of this in seven freaking weeks! Amazing, showstopping, astounding. All of us work together so well, and I love everyone.”
