RC students Casey Libby and Kyle Bozykowski
with American Idol Finalist JAX

Recording Connection students Casey Libby and Kyle Bozykowski (San Diego, CA), who apprentice with Josquin Des Pres at Track Star Studios, recently had the opportunity to work with American Idol finalist JAX. In fact, the duo ran the entire recording session! Speaking of the experience, Casey says, “Seeing the simple progression of chords come to life as a full blown pop song once it reached the minds of hit songwriters Michael and Nancy Natter was truly remarkable to witness first hand. Working with some of the best songwriters in the industry felt unreal. Although, it didn’t quite compare to the moment I actually got behind the board to begin recording Jax. The atmosphere was unlike any other session I’ve been a part of. Having the opportunity to use the skills I’ve learned in a professional setting is something I never thought I’d be doing only four months after I graduated high school…Creating relationships with elites in the music industry like Jax and the Natters is something only the Recording Connection can provide, and I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity.”    Radio Connection student Dana Green (Las Vegas, NV), who apprentices with mentor Lliana Palmer at KSHP AM1400, is getting as much hands-on, real world experience as she can handle. Dana says, It’s been five months since I first joined the Radio Connection… [and] I have been doing a lot of production work at KSHP AM1400 and currently have multiple spots running through the program log. I’ve written/recorded/produced spots for local restaurants and shows here in Las Vegas and have even done a Dodger’s Baseball bumper. Commercial production has become my favorite thing to work on! Writing is a gift of mine and the software has been easy to grasp….The final products have all turned out incredibly [well] and are ready to be heard on the air or at my Soundcloud!”
