As a college student, breaking into the entertainment business can often time be a challenge, but having experienced individuals within the faculty can make things all the difference. Congratulation is in order to 20+ year entertainment industry veteran, Sonja Norwood, who now joins The Los Angeles Film School faculty.

Norwood will lend her industry expertise to The Los Angeles Film School and its students as an adjunct professor of artist management in the entertainment business department. Her course explores the career path of the music manager. This position is a pivotal role within the industry as a manager guides the artist/talent throughout their career.
