The music industry has changed the world in the recent years specially in the past decade, where hundreds of new styles and beats have appeared around the world, giving each one of us the opportunity to listen any kind of music we like. This new rhythms have crossed the entire world and allowed us to understand different cultures and styles.

I'd never thought about the possibility to work in the music industry since I don't have such a very good voice, and I quit playing musical instruments when I was 12 so as days went by, my tendency to get involved in this industry gradually changed to other interests and activities that "seemed" more interesting at that time. Another reason that has made me lose interest in the “artist” profile is the fact that I wouldn’t like my life to be shown on a gossip magazine and not been able to live a regular life.

Even though my current studies differ from this area, I would be interested in the music production area such as a sound engineer or music producer, taking in my advance that my family has shown some music talents in singing and various instrumental abilities, I would really consider the possibility to get involved in the music production and musical advising for famous artists. As another great aspect, I believe that I could use all my current knowledge in finance and international affairs, to develop the artists’ profiles throughout the world, helping and representing them in the personal, economic, and professional aspects so that they can become even better every day to become better artists. With the right partnership, a record label could be founded, because the music industry can become an amazing business idea as an investment project to develop my financial and management skills and also help out my cousins (Whom are really talented) get to be well known around the world. Finally it is important to clarify that if I decide someday to get involved in this industry, it will be as a hobby and not as a full time job because what I really like is the financial and business management area.
