Dear Prospective Employer,
I am in the process of permanently moving to Nashville and I'm currently seeking employment in the area. I
have an extreme passion for country music. My ultimate goal, and dream, is to have a career somewhere
within the country music industry. I don't have the talent required for a singing career and that's not the
professional path I'm searching for. My love for music goes far beyond listening to a song play on radio and
enjoying it. My interest is in every aspect of the industry from beginning to end, all the things that go on
behind the scenes to create a record and get it out there for the listeners to hear. I want to serve the industry
that I'm so passionate about in any way that I can, whether it be as a receptionist, or in administration, or in
human resources, etc. ....just as long as it's somewhere within the music industry. No position or job title is too
small, they all have a role in the music process and they all make a difference. Being able to support
something I'm so passionate about and feel like I'm serving a purpose is all I desire....and country music is
what I'm passionate about and it's what I love. I believe that there are two types of people...one's that "hear"
music and one's that can also "feel" music when they hear it. I'm one who feels music when I listen to it. I can
easily get lost and consumed in the lyrics, the sound, and the emotion of a song. I love the impact that music
can have on people. There's always a song to turn to and relate to no matter what your mood or what your
situation is. I think of music as a universal healer and comforter of sorts. Just one sentence of one song can
change a life for someone, sometimes it may even save one. That's just the power of music. There's not a
single day that goes by that music is not a part of me and a part of my life, without it I'd be lost. I may not have
the “hands on” experience in the music industry that other applicants might have, but given the opportunity
I'd love to show you how my passion for music and my determination for this career can make me a future
asset to your company.
Thank you,
Kathy Hedgepeth
