Issue #64 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
Recording Connection grad Sebastian Lefeld (Miami, FL) is recording vocals for none other than rising pop sensation Shawn Mendes, whose album Handwritten just debuted at the TOP of the Billboard 200 charts, making him the youngest artist to top the chart in nearly five years (Justin Bieber was the last 16-year-old to nab the top spot in 2010)! Sebastian says, “Shawn was a pleasure to work with and has a killer voice!”
Film Connection apprentice Jaclyn McGrew at WestArtVideo in Charlotte, NC, has been having a blast editing a recent music video. “[It] was like putting a puzzle together, except I had to create the idea of what the final puzzle was going to look like,” she says “The two videos that I ended up finishing were so good the band posted them on all of their social media sites.”
Recent Recording Connection grad Mike Messina of White Plains, NY had a groovy time running live sound for the Clockwork Players’ production of Hair and has landed a job as their Sound Designer/Engineer for the season! His mom emailed us to brag: “My husband and I are over the moon for Michael. Thanks to your school and his mentor, Robert Sax, he was taught so well in his Bachelor’s Program and then Master’s Program…Thank you so much to you and your staff. We are grateful.”
Recording Connection apprentice Alexa Cooper (Vancouver, B.C.) recently had not one, but two job interviews—one for her mentor’s studio, Blue Light Studios, and one at a rehearsal space used by the likes of Avril Lavigne, John Mayer, and Rancid!
