Lindsey Kappa

We’re happy to announce Recording Connection graduate, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer Lindsey Kappa is releasing her first EP called World’s Collide. Lindsey’s former mentor Frenchie Smith has this to say about her: “She’s really important. She has a real voice on her…she may find her own journey on that duality of being a performer, and then a recording engineer and producer in the studio for other artists. So, I see some commonalities in her that I see in me.”   From the contagious hook of the title track “World’s Collide” to the upbeat flavor of “Please Don’t Go Away,” we’re thrilled to see Lindsey Kappa going strong in Austin, TX. Hear a track in our Students’ Work section below.    As all our readers and students know, we believe in the power of hard work and building connections as a means to landing paid in-industry work. Recording Connection graduate Desiree Holiday (Nashville, TN) made opportunity align for her when she offered to produce a friend of a friend’s podcast. Desiree tells us: “I asked a friend of mine… ‘Do you know anyone in radio or in audio that needs help?’ And she said she knew a guy…she hooked me up with him, and he worked there at the radio station at iHeart with 1510 WLAC. So working with him on his podcast, I basically helped produce his podcasts…he kept his ear to the ground for me and just let me know, “Hey, they have an opening here [at iHeart Radio]… just being at the right place, right time, when they got my resume and put a familiar face to it, they got me in for the interview and I got the job.” Congrats on the new job Desiree!
