Kidderminster College Music Production alumnus Student Emily Nash is taking the electronic world by storm with her feel-good commercial house tracks. She has been signed to label giant Ministry of Sound and her latest single Garden has also been played on BBC Radio 1.
Here, she answers some questions about her success:
What course did you study at KC and why did you choose KC?
I studied Music Production, I didn’t get a high enough Maths GCSE so I was unable to go to sixth form and then I came to Kidderminster College and they asked what I was interested in and I said Music and then they put me in Music Production to see what I thought of it but I loved it so much and chose to carry on with it!
How did the course help you get to where you are?
It taught me all sorts about music production and also the business side of music which was really introducing so then I entered the music industry with quite a bit of information which helped massively.
What's been the highlight of your career so far?
Playing Leeds & Creamfields and also getting the text off a friend of family member to say you’re on Radio 1 right now! I don’t think I will get use to it.
What career advice would you give our students who are thinking about breaking into the industry?
I’d say just never give up. Sometimes you’ll have days and you think ugh why am I doing this, nothing will ever come out of it. But it’s just patience and time and eventually it will all fall into place.
