AWAL Canada Intern

AWAL offers a modern approach to the traditional recording business, providing artists all the resources and expertise of a global label, while allowing them to retain ownership and control of their music. With local offices around the world, AWAL's services include global marketing and creative services, funding, A&R, playlist and radio promotion, publicity, distribution, synch and brand partnerships, and holistic digital expertise — including social media, audience development and fan engagement strategy, and access to real-time comprehensive music data and insights.

With a mission to partner with independent artists to tell stories that shape culture, AWAL’s diverse roster ranges from rising artists to globally renowned acts, including Laufey, Little Simz, Jungle, Djo, Lil Peep, JVKE, JPEGMAFIA, Moses Sumney, Freddie Gibbs, Lauv, Yung Lean, Tom Misch and more. AWAL also helped develop the careers of an impressive roster of alumni including Steve Lacy, Rex Orange County, FINNEAS, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, girl in red, Lizzy McAlpine, and Kim Petras, among others.

The AWAL Toronto office has been open since March 2019 and along with all of our International artists, we work locally with artists such as The Beaches, Finn Wolfhard, Mikayla Geier, Bob Moses, Luna Li and a roster of developing Canadian artists.
