Issue #44 – Job Opportunities & Student Successes
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
Alex Adams, who apprentices with the Recording Connection at Poons Head Studios in Perth, Australia, recently had the incredible opportunity to work in the studio with Miley Cyrus while she was on her Bangerz World Tour! “Perth was the last stop on the tour,” says Alex. “Two days before her concert, Miley and her engineer Paul Hager decided to book a day at Poons Head Studios where I have been placed for the program. Throughout the day, we recorded vocals for songs that will be potentially be on her next album.”
Alex describes the experience of working with Miley as nothing short of surreal. “It felt just like the other day I was a kid watching Hannah Montana in my living room, and now I have had the chance to be in the studio with Miley,” he says. “It was such an amazing experience being around an artist like her…the professionalism she brings and her work ethic is second to none.”
Rob Grant, Alex’s mentor, agrees. “It was actually a very highly productive day when we had Miley in the studio,” he says. “We were laying down vocals on three new tracks, and keys on at least two. The vocal takes were superb, and the new tracks are sounding excellent.” Rob also had some kind words for his apprentice: “It’s been great having Alex in the studio helping out,” he says. “Like all great things in life, it is always best when the rewards are mutual, and it certainly has been the case with Alex.”
Beyond the thrill of working with a major music superstar, the experience has also inspired and motivated Alex to make the most of his opportunities in the studio. “Without doing this program, I would never have got to be in the studio with an artist like Miley Cyrus,” he says. “That day has made me work even harder to make sure that wasn’t going to be the only day in my career when I am working with artists of that caliber.”
