These past few days I have actually spent in Boston for the annual Berklee Songwriters Night, in which my song “Heartbreaker” was chosen as a winner. I just had the performance at the Berklee Performance Center last night, and it was an incredible show. I am very thankful to have had that opportunity, and to know that everyone back at Universal was supporting and rooting for me.

The past few weeks have also been a bit busy at the office. Nothing too exciting has happened since the Winter Music Conference, but I still had all my regular errands. I had to get in contact with every DJ and record pool we have on our agenda, to make sure to get them to push the single “Bebe Bonita” to number one on their charts. The video (that I participated in) came out on YouTube not too long ago, and it has surpassed 3,000.000 views within the first few days! That was probably one of the most exciting experiences I had at Universal.

When I got back from my spring break in beautiful Toronto, I had a lot of jobs as the pick-up and delivery girl. Tickets and packages had me running back and forth like crazy from the office in the 80-degree humid Miami weather. I had at least two every day, so it was pretty hectic. At least I got a good workout, right?

Although I did not get to go to the Ultra Festival in Miami, I did attend a Winter Music Conference panel, and was later invited to go VIP to the International Dance Music Awards. It was truly an amazing experience to watch some of my favorite dance music artists perform and present awards so close to me. I was introduced professionally to everybody as an “A&R at Universal”, not an intern. That statement made me feel so assured that I might just have the best internship ever. Later that night, I celebrated with my boss at our famous karaoke spot once again. He’s got a pretty great voice as well!

The past few weeks have not been too eventful after the great event we had a few weeks before. I mainly did a lot of errands like exchange reports (which I am now an expert at), listening to more demos and submissions, and attending a few meetings. I had lunch with my boss at this amazing Persian place in south beach, and had another karaoke night with a few co-workers to relieve any of our stress. I love how everyone I work with is so down to earth and grounded. Everyone is equally treated with respect. The Miami weather may also play a part of putting everyone in a good mood every morning. I would much rather be in this “winter” than anywhere else.
