From bedroom production to boarding school at Rittenhouse Soundworks

Jordan made beats and produced for his siblings, who were also rappers, before starting to make EDM and developing an interest in the genre. Over time, Jordan's ambition began to propel him further into the music world. Jordan found Sound Academy through Instagram ads and was initially skeptical, but decided to inquire anyway.

"When I got the call, it really helped me realize that if I applied for different opportunities I saw, I could do it. Getting that call really helped with my confidence." Through Sound Academy, Jordan was able to learn the ins and outs of Pro Tools and take his sound to the next level, especially within the EDM scene. Acquiring sufficient mixing and mastering skills would be crucial to his success, and Sound Academy came up with a solution.

The Sound Academy Experience

Jordan reflects on the sense of community built here at Sound Academy. “It’s so hard to find people who have the same passion for music as I do. It was a real eye-opener to see that there are people like me here.” The hands-on approach of the training has greatly improved his sound and allowed him to advance his position in the music industry. He was also able to connect with the sound engineers at Rittenhouse Soundworks, which led to his internship at the very studio where he trained.

Experience and Results

Jordan is a talented and driven artist who completed the 8-week audio engineering course at Sound Academy.

Jordan is grateful for the opportunity he was given with this internship. “Without Sound Academy, I never would have even applied to Rittenhouse Soundworks.” Thanks to his dedication and hard work, Jordan not only completed the program, he excelled. His outstanding performance earned him an opportunity: an internship at Rittenhouse Soundworks, one of Sound Academy’s partner studios in Philadelphia.
