Lilliane Richardson - Seattle, Washington

Lilliane Richardson
Seattle, Washington - Recording Connection Student

I love country music. Though growing up in Washington, my parents were from the South, I grew up with country; it was everywhere in our house. And I just never cease to fall in love with it. And wherever I go, I always feel right at home whenever I listen to some good ole country. But though I have such an appreciation for this music, I'm not musically gifted in the most conventional sense. I can sing a tune, but nothing spectacular; and I can play enough piano to play some tunes, nothing much beyond that. But I know I have an ear for it, which is why I wanted to be a recording producer.

There are so many people out there who look down on this music, thinking of us as just hicks from down South; but it's not. And as amazing as rock or hip-hop or alternative is, so it country. And as a recording producer, I feel like I could be able to spread country music to those who haven't heard enough of it to really appreciate it. And I'm happy with what I'm learning here, the ins and outs of the recording business, the equipment used in a recording studio. There's my mentor who is an actual recording producer who's teaching me so many things that are even more amazing since they're from his experience, not just stuff from books.

I can't wait to learn more, to have more of this recording connection so I'll be able to reach out to more people with the music that I love so much.
