Student Stories

Autumn successfully pitched herself as the artist for the student-run Eneekay record label, gaining a three-song EP and class support to create the program’s first storyline music video as part of the marketing approach. Heading for LA soon, she says, “I’d love to do anything within the song-writing community, I just super enjoy the process. But to perform my own songs would be the icing on the cake!”
