Matt Kerr: Music BA(Hons) graduate
For me, the course was all about the people, the resources and trying to broaden your view on music. It's very magical to be there and to know that you're only there really to work on art.
Matt is a renowned producer and musician, going by the name of MaJiKer, who has co-written and co-produced albums with the French singer Camille, appeared on Later...With Jools Holland and toured across the world. Film auteur Ken Russell, interviewing MaJiKer for a feature piece in the Sunday Times, described his music as "modern, unusual, unique, abstract and compelling".
"For me, the course was all about the people, the resources and trying to broaden your view on music. It's very magical to be there and to know that you're only there really to work on art. I mean, that's a luxury - most people don't have that, even if you're a professional artist. And now I've come out the other side I can appreciate it even more, and I realise that stuff I touched on during my degree, it's still informing my work. I can specifically find things on Camille's albums that have come straight from the University College."
