Job description

Legends Only is looking for interns for Spring 2027! We are looking for individuals who are passionate about A&R, developing talent and have a strong desire to work in the music business.

Responsibilities

Assist with ongoing A&R research across social platforms, DSPs, Playlists & charts, and emerging music scenes:

• Identify and evaluate promising artists, songwriters, and producers
• Curate and send Weekly A&R research lists
• Perform outreach and connect with potential artists
• Maintain internal playlists and organize music submissions
• Stay informed on current trends in music, culture, and social media

A&R Research Criteria

All research and submissions should be organized in a clear spreadsheet format. Each entry should include the following information:

• Talent Name
• Location
• Instagram Link
• Spotify Link
• TikTok Follower Count
• Instagram Follower Count
• Spotify Monthly Listeners
• Label Information (if applicable)
• Publishing Information (if applicable)

We are specifically looking for high-upside, potentially breakout artists with superstar potential. Strong branding, identity, and early signs of market traction are highly valued. While more developed acts are preferred from a branding and positioning standpoint, we’re open to earlier-stage talent if the music, identity, and overall vision feel exceptional.

*Please include a sheet of 10 unsigned artists you've researched and found that would be a great signing.

This role does not require a traditional or fixed hourly schedule. However, we anticipate that achieving strong, consistent results will require approximately 10-15 hours per week. We value flexibility and are primarily focused on output, quality, and initiative rather than strict time tracking. While we’re not looking for perfection or prior professional experience, we are looking for someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, and genuinely excited to contribute and grow within the A&R space.
