Former Weston College Music Performance and Production Learner, Michael "Mike-e", has gained an outstanding achievement in securing a place on the highly reputable MA Electronic Music Production at dB’s Institute of Sound and Digital Technologies, partnered with Falmouth University. 

Mike-e has been a part of the Weston College Group family since joining onto a Level 1 Music course in 2015.  

Since then, he has gone from strength to strength - excelling into Level 2 and 3, then into the UCW Professional Music Performance and Production Degree and finally earning a spot to study his MA with Bristol-based dB’s Institute of Sound and Digital Technologies, commencing in September.  

Mike-e's journey and success is a truly commendable achievement and a powerful demonstration of hard work, passion, and dedication.  

Upon hearing news of his offer to study at dB’s Institute of Sound and Digital Technologies, Mike-e tell us he was ecstatic; “I have a habit of telling myself I won’t be successful in these kinds of opportunities so to hear back so quickly was so uplifting”. 

Mike-e's future career prospects and goals after University include continuing to work as a sound designer and composer for films and video games while operating a sample library and software instrument business. 

When asked about his time studying Music at UCW he told us: “I would recommend the course to anyone who wants to better their performance skills and develop some business knowledge. The studios and equipment are amazing, and I’ve really enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to use them”.
