JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
This internship is designed for Music Business students eager to explore how music rights are turned into royalties. At Rocketfuel Entertainment, we operate both as a label and a publisher in-house, offering a rare opportunity to understand the full cycle of music copyright, registration, and royalty flow from both sides.
You will support the Music Business team in registering works, tracking usage, and assisting with royalty claiming and analysis across local collective management organizations (CMOs). This is a hands-on, rights-focused internship that offers real-world exposure to how music is monetized, licensed, and protected in Malaysia.

1. Copyright Registration
- Assist in registering musical works (publishing) and sound recordings (label) with relevant CMOs, including MACP and PPM

3. Music Business Operations

- Support the documentation of Rocketfuel’s growing music catalogue across all works
- Help retrieve and verify missing documentation, especially for older legacy catalogues
