This past semester was my final full-time semester at Berklee. I have spent the past four months finishing the last of my liberal arts courses and preparing my Capstone project. I had a remote internship with a sample production company based in Los Angeles this past summer and I have continued similar sample production work on my own time since that internship finished. I have recently confirmed a position as producer/engineer at a studio outside of Boston which I will begin working at as I finish my last few classes this spring. As isolating as this quarantine has been in my apartment in Boston, it was undoubtedly the catalyst for an onslaught of studying and creative work I have done since I began to be stuck in my apartment for weeks on end. The time I’ve spent at Berklee has been the source of much development and realization about what I hope to do with my life. I have built for myself an incredibly talented group of collaborators and have spent much of the past year making great music with them and realizing each artist's identifiable sound. I am still planning to relocate to Los Angeles come next September, circumstances regarding the pandemic willing. I am more confident than ever committing myself to the rocky, unsure world of life in the music industry. I have had a great experience in all job interviews I have landed in the past months and proven to myself my ability to earn a spot in rooms I hope to be in. I have a new found love for mixing other peoples’ music/ productions, which has also proven to be an area of strength for me. The process of taking another person's work and being trusted to bring it to the next level of professionalism is inspiring and gratifying.
