A voice teacher friend and I will joke it’s just higher, louder. Alright, on today’s menu we have just about everyone’s favorite topic, which is singing higher. I do so appreciate you spending your precious listening time with me. I’m inspired by local musicians and seeing people develop, especially those who might have previously doubted their own abilities.Hey there, this is John Henny welcome back to another edition of the intelligent vocalist. We’re hoping the whole Rhythms project will provide a performance space and place for performers, bands, solo artists and musicians interested in all types of music to be nurtured and develop. The plan too is to set up and establish a record label, all under the Rhythms umbrella. It would be a space to help and support those who might not usually have access to recording studio facilities. We’re hoping to establish a recording studio in the upstairs area of the bar at Rhythms. To play a part in helping to reignite the music scene in Middlesbrough. Rhythms is based on Baker Street in Middlesbrough. Then just recently we were able to take on Rhythms. I became involved in online radio broadcasting. We had set the wheels in motion, but then Covid hit, and that halted our plans. We also decided, just before the pandemic, to look at opening a music venue. My partner Tracy was the one who encouraged me to leave my job and study music technology and pursue a music career full-time. I’d always assumed that I just wasn’t very bright, as I did often struggle at school, but it gave me some clarity. I found out that I had a cognitive learning disorder as a direct result of testing provided by the University, and I was offered additional support to overcome it. My tutor Al McNichol also suggested to me that I get tested for dyslexia, as he noticed that I did my course work in a certain way. My advice is to say yes and get involved in everything that will help you to develop. I grasped every single opportunity, from creating the music for events linked to the University to student fashion shows. I have also gained confidence in my abilities and have become a respected figure within the music industry. I developed so many skills, including mixing and mastering, synthesis, music theory, recording, artist management, marketing and promotion, networking and social skills. What did you enjoy most about being a student? I also produce music and work with various record labels, and I am embarking on a career as a freelance DJ and production teacher. I wouldn’t have done this without the inspiration from Teesside University and my tutor, Al McNichol. I’ve been involved in hosting house music events both locally and internationally, from Teesside to Ibiza. My job in construction had been my comfort blanket, but I was unhappy, until I decided to return to education to pursue music full-time. I’d spent two decades developing my skills on the local music scene, but it took me until the age of 38 to take the plunge and pursue my passion for music full-time. What made you decide to study at Teesside University? He’s behind Middlesbrough venue Rhythms, as well as Distinction Events Management as a DJ, music producer and events promoter. He graduated from the BSc (Hons) Music Technology and is now making his mark on the Teesside music scene. This year the graduates rubbed shoulders with renowned television architect George Clarke and leading figure in the UK chemical industry Paul Booth, who became Honorary Graduates.Īnd among the thousands of graduates who are now embarking on their chosen career paths is Matty Innocent.
