“About 6 months ago saw an ad for the Rob Gretton Scholarship – it was about 2 hours before the closing date and decided to just go for it.
I was very lucky to eventually win that and went on to study the Music Business Course at SEM with Tony Rigg. What I learnt there was invaluable, but more so it finally gave me the knowledge and confidence to take my little idea into something real.”
