Dear [Mention the name of the recipient]

I recently earned a [mention the degree] in [mention the subject] from [mention the name] University, and for the past [mention the number] years or more, I’ve been producing music for popular indie bands. I’m a huge fan of your music releases, but I didn’t see any job listings on the [mention the website]. It would be a dream come true if you could find a position for me on your team.

While working as an intern at [mention the name] Studios in [mention the name] for [mention the number] or more years, I honed my mixing and mastering abilities by assisting in the production of [mention the number] albums for local artists, using [mention the name] Tools and [mention the name], which I’ve been using to produce music since I was in Year [mention the name]. I also produced [mention the name] full-length albums for my friends’ band [mention the name], both of which have received extensive local radio play.

When you take a break from making wonderful music, please get in touch with me at [mention the number] or [mention the email address] if the qualifications indicated above and in my CV pique your interest.

Sincerely,

[Mention the name of the sender]
