About Decent Music PR

At Decent Music PR, we provide marketing and promotional solutions designed to help emerging and established artists grow and thrive. We work closely with artists to understand their goals, develop tailored strategies, and deliver campaigns that support their long-term growth.

The Role

We're currently looking for a Music Industry Outreach & Research Assistant to join the team and help us grow our network, identify new opportunities and keep our outreach moving.

This is an entry-level role with genuine opportunities to develop into A&R, artist discovery and wider music industry responsibilities as DECENT grows.

It's a great opportunity for someone at the beginning of their career who has a genuine interest in music, understands the industry and wants hands-on experience inside a growing music company.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
