Sophie Brown
My first entry into the music industry was actually at JMC Academy when I moved into an internship position and from there my role grew and grew and I just networked around and made all these connections.

Label Manager, Concord
Will Thackray
JMC has given me hands on experience and confidence to go out there and work in the field that I do and allowed my career to progress quicker than I ever thought it would.
Will Thackray
Sound Designer at Otis Studios
Lexee Gordoun
JMC taught us how to create pitch decks and get funding, to budget and distribute. Since JMC I’ve produced and directed 4 films and a few of them have gone onto win at international film festivals. In a small industry, having the loyalty from the people that you studied with (at JMC) and bringing them along on professional projects is so rewarding.
Lexee Gordoun
Award winning Film Director and Producer
Daniel Brown
Hard work and collaboration between other JMC departments enabled me to work across live sound, audio-to-picture sound and studio recording, opening up job prospects after graduating.
Daniel Brown
Film Score recordist, engineer and mixer, Dan Brown Studios

My vision’s always been clear, JMC was just part of the journey…

The main thing was making links with my tutors. I was already working as an assistant stage manager prior to JMC, so the course also solidified and developed my skills.

Jackson Wall
I never thought I’d ever make a career from games. What I learnt at JMC was the technical side of things: 3D modelling, texturing, and how to assemble an environment. But I also learnt the soft skills—how to collaborate in a team, how to take an idea and develop it.
