 Why study Audio Engineering & Sound Production at JMC? 

The wonderful teachers at JMC have shown me incredible things that I couldn’t imagine learning in another place. Being here and sharing with all these different nationalities, personalities and cultures has helped to open the way that I perceive my field of work. It has helped me to discover new types of music and cultures. It has been a great opportunity.

The client interaction and team work experience I gained at JMC was very important as I find these skills essential for the Audio Industries in Indonesia. At the age of 23, I set up a company focusing on Audio and Video Post Production. Now I have many clients from film industries, animation, advertising, television production and music recording.
