What Our Alumni Say

"I am a professional singer/songwriter from Cork, Ireland. I have toured all over the world working with American supergroup Operation: Mindcrime which consisted of members of well known bands like AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Queensryche and more as well as fronting Rock band The Voodoos and also most recently releasing music under my own name. I attended the Hot Press MIX course a few years back and during the course I learned vital information that has really helped me with my knowledge of today’s music industry.I would highly recommend the course to any musician, artist manager or anyone looking to learn more about how the music industry works and to make amazing contacts that can really help you in the future."
