As a student at BIMM Institute Hamburg you’re not only going to spend your time in lecture rooms and studios – you are also going to have the opportunity to engage with the music industry outside the classroom through a variety of internships and work placements. Many of our students have worked at Hamburg’s most popular labels, agencies and recording studios during their studies and, in doing so, have got their foot in the door.

We caught up with Music Business student Max Jargsdorf to talk about his job at Oktober Promotion that focuses on different PR areas like print, online, radio, social media and TV.

'As this is my first job in the music industry, I get first practical experience and contacts. Also, I’m constantly discovering music as we have a lot of newcomers and underground artists on our radar. I also see this as a steppingstone for more to come. The contacts and the big network surrounding this company is one of the most important things for me in my studies. As you know: networking is everything in the music industry!'

We are delighted to announce that vocalist Anna Hirschgänger, who recently graduated from our BA (Hons) Vocals course at BIMM Institute Hamburg, won the KRACH + GETÖSE Hamburg Music Award. Under the artist name Deer Anna she writes and plays indie folk music that has been compared to Phoebe Bridgers, Daughter, Aurora und Novo Amo.

Anna and each of the other four winners who were awarded the KRACH + GETÖSE Award received prize money of €1200. They will also be mentored for 12 months and receive guidance from industry professionals, clubs, festivals, studios, agencies and the arts funding body, Haspa Musik Stiftung, and much more! We talked to Anna about her win:

'I’m very much looking forward to getting some help regarding booking and getting to play some festival gigs and maybe even a support tour for some bigger artist. A dream would be to play at The Great Escape Festival which KRACH+GETÖSE has a partnership with. I’m also really excited about just having some extra people around me with special expertise to talk to for advice and guidance.'

For this year’s End of Year Gig at BIMM Institute Hamburg, we teamed up with graphic designer Alexander Hanke, who founded Hamburg design studio and label Studio Zum Heimathafen and specialises in designing posters for concerts and festivals, to ask him to create a special poster for us.

'My heart was always in the music scene, so I was seeking for jobs in the scene and in a way that led to so-called ‘gig posters’. These usually give me the chance to work quite freely and at the same time I can create something for people whose music I listen to and admire.'

Students visited Alexander’s design studio for an exclusive masterclass where he talked about the importance of design in music, the process of creating our poster and at the end, our students also got to screenprint our poster. We talked to Alexander about his work and the key to a great design.

Music Business student Feodora Stücklschwaiger not only played a wonderful DJ set at last year’s End-of-Year Gig - she has also founded her own music collective and is producing her own music. We caught up with her to talk about her journey so far, her plans for the future, her collective W.A.L.E and of course studying at BIMM Institute Hamburg!

"Studying at BIMM redirected my creative journey once again. Maybe I will perform my music on stage with a band one day, or I will operate behind the scenes and be responsible for all the happiness. (...) The people I’ve met influenced me in so many ways, which I appreciate with all my heart! I found people like Andreas Mann, who helped me to realise projects I never thought I would. If you are eager to build a network and keep (once again) an open mind you have all those opportunities in reach!"
