Breakaway Projects | Summer 2026 Internship
June 1 - August 14 | Santa Monica, CA — Remote/Hybrid (3 days in office per week) | College Credit
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, build campaigns, and develop talent. This summer, we’re bringing in a small, focused group of interns to work directly inside that process.
This is not a shadow-and-observe role.
• You will pitch artists in real A&R meetings
• Your content will go live on real label accounts
• Your ideas will be considered for real releases
Everything you do here is portfolio-ready from day one.
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need to check every box. One real strength and the willingness to learn is enough.
• You understand social media and know how to create content that actually performs on multiple platforms
• You can edit short-form video (CapCut, Green Screen knowledge, or similar tools)
• You’re comfortable being on camera or part of the content when needed
• You’re deeply online and can spot trends early
• You have real taste in electronic and dance music
• You communicate clearly and follow through
You don’t need to be great at everything. We’re looking for people who can contribute in one area and grow into the rest.
What You’ll Be Doing
A&R Scouting
• Pitch 1–3 emerging artists per week directly in A&R meetings
• Evaluate signing potential, streaming trajectory, and overall label fit
• Contribute to real discussions, not reports that sit in an inbox
Content & Social
• Work in small teams to run Breakaway Projects’ TikTok and Instagram
• Help develop visual identity and post consistently
• Build toward monthly growth benchmarks
Campaign Ideation
• Bring 2–3 trending content strategies each week
• Show how they apply to artists and upcoming releases
• Strong ideas get executed
What You’ll Walk Away With
• A label credit backed by the Breakaway brand
• College Credit
• Real A&R experience in the electronic music space
• A content portfolio built on live campaigns
• Direct exposure to signing decisions, artist development, and label operations
