"pointblank gave me opportunities to look into different departments within the industry, not only music production. It was also music business, sound design, and understanding synchronisation with music, film, TV, and games. I built my network and formed friendships with people who are doing incredible things. It’s an honour to be part of that community - I grew a lot in terms of my mentality and tenacity to want to make things work and happen for me."
