My work combines:

Being Creative
Day to Day
Coffee, walk, emails. Emails come in from publicists and bands from around the country. I sort them by importance, delete what isn't necessary, organize what ones that can be into folders, then begin the processing of answering the priority set ones. When clearance comes in for an interview or for photo coverage / review, the task of researching begins. Excellent questions for interviews or reviews only comes with research. From there I do photo editing for bands I have photographed.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Start young. The earlier you start running your own business, whatever that might be, the further ahead you will be. For music: In high school write about the bands your friends with . Interview your music teacher. Set up your own blog. Then learn how to market the bands you are writing about and photographing. You can use social media, create flyers by using graphic arts tools, create logos and t-shirts for bands. There is so much you can do to be your own boss in the music industry!
