I enjoyed my course I did this 4 years ago and I am still longing to come back again for the advance course…. kollo takes his time to train you on every aspect of the production…. either u are a starter or u want to improve into advanced music production session ……

Being talented is great. Being self-taught is wonderful. However, taking a craft a profession/career requires professional training and mentorship. To this I can testify as a countrysyde alumni to the drastic change in my skills as an all round sound manipulator/producer after undergoing this course about 4-5 years ago. I recommend countrysyde any day, any time. Great learning environment, robust curriculum with hands-on practicals, motivating faculties and more than value for your money. Thinking of going back for advanced courses soon though.

You know sometimes I reminisce about when I went to #countrysydestudio. I barely know something about music production. Yes I sing but der is something about taking that seat and trying to craft something from nowhere. Now I can handle any production tools and turn a wack singer to a top notch professional hit maker. Its almost 5yrs in d game and I still wanna come back to countrysyde to say thank u and probably pull up a competition with other students. Its fun and easy to understand I must say. You just gotta be there!

I had been nursing the ambition of becoming a music producer for years,but my fear was can I really do it cause I don’t know much about music and I don’t play any musical instrument,but I when I got to countrysyde studio it was a different ball game. In fact I still can’t believe myself with my performance in music production now. Countrysyde is the ship kollo is the captain,its always a smooth sailing any time any day. Awesome experience

2013 was almost a stranded year for me musically, as I was frustrated trying to get a hang on learning how to make my home recording music. It seems impossible until I came across Countrysyde studios platform, I attended their training for 3 months and I was exposed to various production and mixing platforms and today I am currently an outstanding music producer and musician. Currently I have gained more publicity just by following the rudiments of my training session here at Countrysyde. I am thankful to my tutors and fellow students for helping me achieve my goals. Thanks to King Kollo also for the constant follow up..

The countrysyde studios experience is one of the best in Nigeria. You better experience it than you are told about it. I am proud to be a graduate of this school. Its not just beat making, its music production. And not just music production, its about the music industry. Thumbs up to Director Kollo, an humble instructor and a seasoned producer who has worked with and still working the industry’s best artists. I rep countrysyde!
