Student Sucess
Henri studied the BA (Hons) Commercial Music at Platform One before joining Miloco Studios as an intern. Proving he was a valuable asset, Henri was offered a full-time position at Livingston Studios in North London, working with the likes of Sam Smith, James Bay and Emeli Sande.
"After graduating from Platform One in 2015, I was offered an internship at Miloco Studios, after which I was taken on as the permanent assistant engineer at their Livingston Studios complex in North London. Day to day I set up for the sessions including microphone placement, patching and preparing for when the engineer, producer and artist arrives. Platform One prepared me for the recording industry with a variety of essential skills in key areas such as microphone and recording knowledge. This base knowledge will be so helpful as I move up to engineer level, and then ultimately become a producer.”
