As a student you have access to the world-class facilities of Windmill Lane Recording Studios. I assisted industry legends such as John Kurlander and commanded entire sessions alone.

Passion. All else comes with passion, time management, work ethic, determination – passion exudes all of these traits. You cannot pursue art without passion.

After college I hope to get the internship offered by Windmill Lane Recording Studios. My goal is to further cement myself within the up-and-coming Irish music scene and to work with as many artists on as many projects as possible.
