For more than 10 years I've been fortunate enough to train thousands of DJs, producers and artists around the world, how to make and perform music.

Making music isn’t just for the gifted few who can harness “creativity”. It’s just a skill that can be learned and with enough hard work you can get pretty damn good at it.
