“I didn’t know that it was something that you could do – I didn’t discover my pathway to it until I got to college” explains engineer and producer Jess Camilleri. Nominated for the Rising Star accolade at the MPG awards earlier this year, Camilleri currently works as a freelance engineer and producer out of a range of studios, having previously been a full-time part of the Strongroom team and working to immaculately capture the likes of MIA, Rudimental and Kaiser Chiefs.
We caught up with Jess to learn more about how she found herself under the spotlight of acclaim in this highly competitive industry. “[When I was younger] I’d seen inside studios, but I grew up in the countryside, so I thought that it probably [wouldn’t] be accessible for me. At college, I chose Maths, Physics and Music as A-Levels and did Music Tech as my extra module. It was my Music Tech teacher that encouraged me to be a sound engineer. He showed me a course that required the skills that I was studying. It was the first time that I’d realised there was a pipeline into the studio world. It seemed really obvious to me to go and do that. It fell into my lap in a really nice way.”
