As someone who knew, from a young age, that I wanted to pursue a career on the business side of the music industry, I wish I had known that LIHSA was available to High School students like me. Having the opportunity to focus my attention on a field I was interested in would have given me a head start that I am confident would have helped to push me forward during the early years of working for record labels and distribution companies.
