Grammys! Excellent to have had several Recording Workshop Grads show off their studio skills on nominated albums!
Up for Best Alternative Music Album was Bjork's Utopia and grad Heba Kadry mixed this wonderful sonic feast of unique vocals and instrumentation.
Best Urban Contemporary Album was one of nominations for Beyoncé & Jay-Z's Everything is Love Recording Workshop grad Derek Dixie co-produced several tracks on this album, and also is Beyoncé's music director on tour.
Keith Urban was up for Best Country Solo Performance for a track from Graffiti U. Grad Luke Martin engineered on this inventive album that brings in some unexpected pop/EDM influence - Benny Blanco and Ed Sheeran were part of the collaborative songwriting & production.
Congrats all!

ANIIML

Awesome to see the latest creation from the fertile mind of ANIIML, aka Lila Rose, and known to us as a super-talented Recording Workshop grad.
OUCH! - is her latest song & video. So much to love - a dark, gothic chant that slowly builds to an intensive ending chorus - musically, sonically & visually.
Lila's earlier releases have landed two recent television placements - the HBO series Vice, and the Freeform show Good Trouble.
Her first European tour is scheduled for this Fall. Gonna be a tremendous year for ANIIML!
