In Their Own Words

"By bridging the gap between theory and practice, I aim to empower my students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the music industry. I would love to equip them with real-world expertise, a competitive edge, but most of all, a deep love for their craft as they pursue their own professional paths."

"As an accomplished music industry professional, I bring a unique and dynamic perspective to my role as an educator. With an extensive background in writing and producing, I am still actively engaged in the industry, consistently collaborating with artists, writers, and producers and staying up-to-date with the latest trends. This allows me to offer my students an invaluable insight into my day-to-day experiences, writing sessions, industry dynamics, production and mixing techniques, and current networking opportunities."
