Making the most of the opportunity…

  DJ Premier at Chung King StudiosStraight from Berlin, Recording Connection student, Rinze Van Dellen, is apprenticing under Arnold Uribe Jr at the legendary Chung King Studios in New York City and he’s certainly making the most of the opportunity by jumping in with both feet!   “You have to put energy into what you want to do,” he says. “I understood early on that they don’t just let you do things; you have to show them you’re hungry to learn! As soon as Steve Kennedy (the studio manager) understood that I wasn’t just there to finish my program, but that I’m there to actually put work in it, he involved me a lot in the studio.”   Since starting at Chung King, Rinze has gotten the chance to help out on numerous projects, from pop to hip hop to EDM. He’s even met and worked with one of his favorite rappers, the influential hip hop record producer and emcee—Large Professor! But that’s not all! Just the other day, Rinze got called in to help out on a session only to find out when he arrived to the studio that the artist was none other than DJ Premier himself.   Rinze says, “Honestly yesterday was one of the best days in my life. Before I moved to New York my friends said ‘Yeah and when you move to NYC you’re gonna meet Premo.’ We were just kidding around but it actually happened and that is SO crazy to me. It was amazing! I got to help at the setup and the engineer was very happy with my work.”   Rinze has also been given additional work within Chung King Studios, and has even been able to mix some projects for some of his friends back in Germany. Congrats, Rinze!    

Before and after…

  Tyler Goosney - Spark It UpRecording Connection apprentice Tyler Goosney (Bowtown Music, Calgary, Alberta) recently shared with us a fun track called “After Party,” which he recorded prior to starting with the Recording Connection. He told us, “I feel like I’ve learned a lot and that the next album will sound a lot better.” You can hear the difference in his new album Spark It Up, which is now available on iTunes! Way to go, Tyler!
