What our students say about us

"

I started my moniker, TAILS, at Nimbus when I was a student and the first tracks I put out were projects from class - which got a lot of great hype and good radio play from BBC1 radio and DJs. After graduating, I started playing a ton of shows and making money from my music, enough to quit my “day job”. Nimbus taught me of course all the engineering and production tools, but more than that, it taught me to focus my drive and put in the work”.
Spencer Reid (aka TAILS)Nimbus graduate, Producer, International DJ
I need to live in the arts, I need to work in the arts - that’s why I came to Nimbus - so I could learn more Business and get a hold of my life to take it where I wanted to take it. One of the best things as a Nimbus student is our community. You can’t come expecting everyone to coddle you, you have to find your own way. What you put in is what you’ll get out!”
Ali RossNimbus graduate, Director, Producer, Independent Filmmaker
Through the teachers and the Nimbus community, I’ve been able to network and get my start in the industry. The amount of people I’ve met through Nimbus and in the industry has been amazing, not to mention the amount of work I’ve been getting!”
Liam MoesNimbus grad, Engineer, Producer, Musician
I learned everything I know from my instructors at Nimbus! They stayed my mentors and became my colleagues once I graduated, and it’s so cool to be able to call them up when you have an engineering or live sound problem to hear their solution and then ultimately come up with your own way to fix something. Nimbus made me realize I’m on the right path, and I want to continue to do this for as long as I can!”
Jay BagasbasNimbus Grad, Live Sound Engineer
I have support that I haven't felt in a long time. It’s nice to have a creative home”

an alumni ode to nimbus

"

My experience at Nimbus has been otherworldly. First of all, having a year all to myself with the amazing gear we had access to was amazing. Studying at both campuses (Main Campus and Nimbus 9 Studios) has been nothing short of exhilarating. Every day was a learning opportunity, a new experience, a new challenge to overcome, and another successful milestone in my career path and life journey.
The instructors. THE INSTRUCTORS! You were so amazing to us, a rambunctious crew of kids barely able to comprehend the influence Nimbus was about to have on us.
Having my eyes opened to the world of the music industry and getting to experience firsthand that magical force behind the curtain was humbling and mind-bending. THANK YOU."

Samuel Woywitka is a Juno award winning Montreal-based songwriter/producer who has spun a wealth of studio experience into a career working alongside exciting Canadian and international artists in an eclectic mix of different genres and styles.

His early career highlights include serving as head engineer for Grammy Award-winning producer Chin Injeti (Eminem, 50 Cent), and working with DJ Khalil (Dr. Dre, Anderson .Paak, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West) . Through mentorship with these producers, Sam developed a style of organic
performances with modern production techniques.

The Next Steps

Sam pushed his career to the next level by moving from Vancouver after graduation, to Montreal, where he quickly landed a position co-running Indica Records’ recording studio. Since his move Sam has found himself writing and producing with artists such as Patrick Watson, Half Moon Run, Teke Teke, and Luca Fogale, which has led to various sync placements in shows such as Grey’s Anatomy and Netflix’s “Charmed”.

Recently, he worked as an engineer for platinum-selling Canadian indie-rock band Half Moon Run’s third album, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (Frank Zappa, White Stripes, Morissey). Which received a Juno win for Adult Alternative Album of the year.

On the horizon

Sam has been focused on his newly formed record label “Hidden Ship”. The label’s debut project is the band FHANG which is the collaborative debut album between Mishka
Stein (Patrick Watson, Leonard Cohen) and Samuel Woywitka.

Since the release of the debut self titled album the band has found themselves sitting at number 2 on the CBC Radio 3 Top 10 songs list, featured on Radio-Canada OHDIO, as well as appearing on the Earshot top 50 charts and the NACC
national top 200.
