    NWRC is one of the best Art colleges around and it was right on my doorstep, so I thought 'why not!' and i've never looked back. I have learned and developed so much in the last two years.

    The recording facilities at NWRC are second to none. I use my free studio time to demo and record new songs. You wouldn't get this anywhere else at such a professional level.
