RBC Soundlab Member, RBC Soundlab, Coventry, 02/01/19, Present, I work alongside 'Soundlab Cov' and 'The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire' every Saturday in a scheme/club made to enhance kids between the ages of 9-18. I have been part of this musical community for three years and have had many amazing opportunities from them. I have worked with bands Soundlab have managed and have had the chance to record music videos and songs in studios and professional environments. This has been a fantastic time with them and I think any skills around leadership and team working can be used in any upcoming job roles.
