"Taking the EMERGE course has been an eye-opening experience. I’ve gained hands-on skills using mixing desks and working in real studios. But even more than that, I’ve learned how the industry works and how I can find my space in it." - Adam, EMERGE Young Producer, 2025

"I now feel confident talking about my creative ideas — before I didn’t even feel like I could speak in the room. The sessions helped me understand both analogue and digital desks, and now I can walk into a studio and really contribute." - Kafia, EMERGE Young Producer, 2025
