About

Unfortunately we are not taking any placements in Fiction at the moment. The best place to start is the careers/placements section on www.umusic.com. It might also be worth talking to agencies like Handle and MusicMarket, who place staff in temporary positions across the industry.

Record Of The Day is a useful site for keeping in touch with industry news, and they have a jobs section for all sectors too.

Please feel free to email your CV to Universal HR Department.

Hope this helps - good luck.

You can post demos to Fiction A&R, Fiction Records, 364-366 Kensington High Street, London, W14 8NS. Or, you can send a link to fictionrecords@umusic.com. If the A&R team have any questions they will get in touch directly. Please don't email mp3 attachments, they will be automatically deleted due to the volume received!

The A&R team don’t tend to book personal appointments initially – it’s nothing personal but otherwise they would never have time to listen to anything!! Send us a demo and one of them will give you a shout if you are what they are looking for. Good luck,

Charlotte Thomas charlotte.thomas@umusic.com can advise regarding licensing tracks from the Fiction catalogue.

As I'm sure you can imagine we get far more charity requests than we can help, so we are working with one at a time (our current charity is Calm, which supports young men at risk of suicide). All our artists also support their own choice of charity - check their websites for more information.

We cannot give any permissions for non-commissioned remixes to be distributed or sold. All remixes are commissioned by the management or A&R.

Please contact the Polydor press assistant jeyda.bekir@umusic.com to be added to internal press distribution lists for Kate Nash, Snow Patrol, Ian Brown, Tv On The Radio, Athlete, Alice Gold, The Duke Spirit, Yuksek, The Naked And Famous and The Maccabees.
