Announcement
A great time was had by all at #GearExpoNashville! Our mentors had a blast meeting and talking shop with so many audiophiles! It was truly an extraordinary experience. We can’t wait to do it again!     Just before the Pensado Vintage King Gear Expo 2014, C.O.O. Brian Kraft had the opportunity to meet with a few music industry greats at the Pinewood Social in Nashville, TN. Among those present was the expo’s co-founder Dave Pensado and F. Reid Shippen, a nine-time Grammy-award winning mixer/producer whose credits include Death Cab for Cutie, Ingrid Michaelson, Shania Twain, Dierks Bentley, Backstreet Boys and India.Arie.   F. Reid ShippenWhen you’ve got all the heads in one room, great conversations take place. As Brian explained to Reid how Recording Connection is the only school that is positioned to break students into the real music business, thanks to the great pros we work with and our hands-on programs, Reid was obviously impressed. “Let the sheep go to SAE or Full Sail,” he said. “I will break people into this business if they are good through your program. No other school can claim that.”   Our longtime mentor Ryan Hewitt (Lady Gaga, Angus & Julia Stone, Red Hot Chili Peppers) added: “This is the program of the future. The old trade school model has been dead for years.”   So yes, we’re happy to announce — F. Reid Shippen is now a Recording Connection mentor!   Also present was Jeremy Ash of Capitol CMG Publishing. For ten years, Jeremy’s job has been to place the music artists make into film, TV, and other media for the world’s largest music publisher. Now he’s another friend of Recording Connection—proof positive that we’re connecting our students every single day!  

Long story short: the music industry is run by people, the same people who know we are the best.
