This is funny because we find ourselves in a situation in which I remember that commercial from a credit card in which they were saying this and this fantastic, this and that fantastic. And one of the best things was being an intern in a record company. That was like the hardest thing and when we tried to find people, we couldn’t find it. So there’s like a myth of like oh, it would be great to work in a record industry, but when you look for the guys, where are you guys? I mean, again, be as professional as you can and internships are a perfect way for us to know where you are and we are doing more and more hirings from people that when they’re at college do their internships with ours.

Be the best that you can be at whatever you’re doing. That’s the only key to success. If you’re playing music, try to educate yourself as much as you can within music. Try to listen to lots of things. Try to dig into it, try to work hard. Be the best. If you want to be an executive, if you want to work in the industry, the same. I mean, prepare yourself. Life is not easy and there’s lots of competence outside so work. Work. I mean, I’m not the best example because in our days we were much more thinking on, whatever, but prepare yourself.
