German Major, Alexander Schiefer, was invited to the CoLA Internship Breakfast with Dean Kristin Sobolik on Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Alexander spent Tuesdays and Thursdays during his spring semester in Indianapolis interning for Joyful Noise Recordings. Joyful Noise Recordings is an independent record label featuring artists such as Kishi Bashi, Surfer Blood, and Stranger Cat. Joyful Noise has many customers in Germany and they have a distributor based in Berlin, so Alexander was able to use his German skills to become an important asset for them. Along the way he was given many amazing opportunities, including the chance to travel with a band to South by Southwest in Austin, TX. He is planning on continuing his internship in the summer, and he hopes to use the connections he's gained to one day work in the music industry in Germany.
