Welcome to Music News Blitz - your home of music news, reviews and playlists

Our mission

Music News Blitz is a website and brand driven by the mission to provide a platform for aspiring music writers and content creators to showcase their talents through placements & internships.

We provide an environment where student writers and freelance content creators can cut their teeth, learn their craft and showcase their skills.

We also teach all content creators about SEO, marketing, video, social media, business development, content strategy and revenue generation.

Our vision

We want Music News Blitz to be the biggest music brand on the planet powered by the next generation of talented content creators looking to break into the digital media industry.

Our team

Harvey Cotterill, Nicole Powell, Charlie Gardner, Katie Ransome and Matt Dudley will be the beating heart of Music News Blitz’s content on our website, Youtube channel and social platforms.

They love music, and are here to celebrate the artists, songs, festivals and albums that shape our lives and shake our souls.

Our pool of talented content creators from across the network of News Blitz brands (Sports News Blitz, Film News Blitz, Travel News Blitz and Transfer News Blitz) all love their music, so will be getting involved with this exciting new brand.

If you want to get on board and do a placement or internship with us, get in touch.
