2012
"I'm originally from Glastonbury in Somerset where I used to work on a self-employed basis doing solar panels and plumbing. I have always been interested in music and have done a fair bit of DJing in the past.
"I am predominantly interested in drum and bass, break-beat and dub. I work as a DJ in Southampton, London and Bristol; that's really giving me the chance to put into practice what I'm learning on the course.
"I am really enjoying the music production side of the course. I want to continue to learn to produce music to a more professional standard and I like making tracks and DJing both live and in the studio. We have access to industry standard programmes on our own individual computer including Logic 7 and Abelton Live.
"The teaching staff at Solent are amazing, it's like learning from friends. I have found it really helpful to learn different methods and techniques from the different lecturers because they all have their own way of doing things.
"All I can say to anyone interested in this as a hobby and thinks they may have what it takes is... go for it!"
