Andy Almada spent six years as part of the leadership team at 1500 Sound Academy, the institution built by Rance Dopson and James Fauntleroy. He wasn't a student there. He wasn't visiting. He was the Director of Operations who helped launch and run that 25,000 square foot facility in Inglewood from the ground up. He eventually became their Director of Strategic Partnerships, building the relationships that connected that academy to the industry at the highest level. Before that, he was a professor of audio engineering at Golden West College. He ran his own studio called Essense Studio as a producer and engineer. He's worked with The Recording Academy. He currently serves as Director of Strategy and Partnerships at LANDR, one of the biggest music technology platforms in the world. This man has seen music education from every angle. He's built it. He's taught it. He's partnered it. And now he chose to invest in Internz Academy. Andy, welcome to the family. You bring a perspective that makes all of us sharper. The intern never graduates and you just proved it by walking in the door as a student again after everything you've already built. Everybody say what's up to Andy and let him know what you're working on. This is a room full of builders and you're going to fit right in. Let's work.
