FAREWELL, THIERRA
RIFFS WITH MALCOLM
Thierra came on board as our intern in March and quickly became a reliable presence in the studio. She supported youth artists during sessions, helped with tracking and mixing, and brought consistency to the day-to-day flow of work. By the time August came, it was hard to imagine the space without her. Her time here gave younger musicians a clear example of steady commitment behind the scenes.
Malcolm joined us for guitar lessons, bringing a love of punk and metal to the studio. He made fast progress, even learning a new song in just one session, though his next step is refining technique and speed. His excitement showed how quickly skills grow when paired with music that feels personal. For Malcolm, it was proof that effort feels easier when you love what you’re playing.
