You're from Germany, what brought you to the Conservatory?
I talked to several engineers and other people in the business and they told me if I really wanted to learn about engineering, I had to do a course in the US, since I wouldn't get a good education for that in Germany or anywhere else in Europe.

Did you try other schools? What made you decide on the Conservatory?
I found the Conservatory on the Web and it looked to me to be one of the best schools for engineering. Even though the Conservatory is expensive compared to European schools, it was still far more affordable than Full Sail or Berklee.

What classes helped you most once you got into the process of looking for a job?
I would say, especially Signal Flow, MIDI and Music Business.

What did you like most about the school?
The best thing for me was, that it is open 24 hours each day, so if you really want to learn a lot, you have the opportunity to do so.

Where are you working now?
I'm currently at Stanley House Studios in London. Apart from assisting on sessions, I spend a lot of time working for the Stanley House Music publishing company and running a programming room.

Who have you been working with?
Blue (boyband like N'sync), Atomic Kitten and Pete Craigie (one of Virgin Records main mixing engineers).

What do you like best about your current job?
I enjoy running the programming room at the studio and especially the technical side of my work. I like publishing as well and I'm looking forward to getting into this more.

What are your goals? If you could have your dream job, what would it be?
My knowledge from the Conservatory has given me lots of opportunities in different sectors of the industry. My foot is in the door now and I'm looking forward to increasing my knowledge as I grow in my career.
