Hi Friends,
I hope this email (website page) finds you well. As you know, I was the victim of a budget cut last week with Alpha Media. It came as a shock to me, and others (even inside the company). It was absolutely not performance related, and I wish them well. While I am saddened by this, I am a believer that everything happens for a reason, and while I am anxious about what’s next - I’m also excited.
I am reaching out to express my interest in exploring career opportunities within Big Machine and Valory Records, particularly in the areas of streaming and marketing. I have so many friends and industry colleagues who have transitioned to the record side of the business from radio, and I am inspired by their achievements. This has fueled my desire to pivot my own career in a similar direction. I am confident I could achieve significant success in this field, leveraging my skills, relationships and passion for the industry.
My mantra is simple: work hard, be nice. Throughout my programming career, I have consistently driven results by thinking outside the box and implementing innovative strategies. Over the past few years, aside from my programming career, I have also worked closely with new artists, helping them launch their careers through effective streaming campaigns, collaborations with DSPs, and strategic release schedules. It’s become a passion of mine.
I'm confident that my skills in management, content curation, relationship building, team building, marketing, digital, social media and my passion for new music will enable me to excel in this role. I have enjoyed working with your teams over the past few years and always admired the innovative approach of Big Machine and Valory Records. My family and I are committed to staying here in Nashville, and I believe that joining your team would be a fantastic opportunity to continue my career in a winning environment. I am excited about a new opportunity. I know I could win for you.
I would love to discuss how my background, skills, and enthusiasm align with the needs of your team and how I can contribute to the continued success of Big Machine and Valory Records.
Thank you for considering. I look forward to the possibility of discussing this exciting opportunity with you. I have already also applied online, so I am in your HR system. I am here in Nashville, ready to rock and roll.
Ya'll are good people. Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Bo Matthews
