"...last week I had the privilege of working with Jason Artega (a recent [Conservatory] graduate) while I was on tour mixing FOH for Mercury recording artist Shelby Lynne. The performance had to be spot on, as Shelby was playing a special showcase for the executives from the Universal Music Group. With Jason's assistance, we were able to achieve our sonic goals, making it the best show of the tour. I hope that I get to work with more people like Jason in the future. Thank you and keep up the excellent work."
