27. Where do you find new music?
How to Answer
It is essential to the interviewer that you bring a keen and genuine interest in the music and entertainment industry. Interscope Records works hard for their artists to gain exposure to new fans, through multiple platforms. Talk to the interviewer about where you go most frequently to find new music. Try to add some variety into your answer by discussing resources such as articles, blogs, charts, or even music magazines.

2nd Answer Example
"I like to learn about new music through podcasts such as 'The Ongoing History of New Music' where they feature '5 songs you must hear this week.' Sources like this one give me exposure to indie artists I may not typically hear of. I also read a couple of online mags such as Billboard and Vibe."
