My story


My course at University of West London was superb and the facilities were brilliant. I would recommend the course to anyone who has a passion for music and wants to succeed in the music business. It taught me valuable music business skills and most importantly professionalism within the industry.

After graduating I set up my own business specializing in audio post production and sound design. I moved to Gloucestershire with my partner who also graduated from University of West London with a first class hons in New Media Journalism with Radio Broadcast; we met at the SU bar in our first year and we are now getting married in 6 weeks time!

After running my business for 2 years I was head hunted by Gloucestershire College to become a music technology lecturer. I am now a fully qualified teacher and spread my time between my business and lecturing at the college.
