Justin Boreland, ICMP tutor, music producer and rapper, is the latest guest to appear on The Interview Series. 

The podcast, hosted by ICMP’s Lara Magnelli, offers an interview with a member of ICMP’s faculty who has not only enjoyed success as an educator but in the wider music industry as well. 

Justin is the latest tutor to share insight and advice gained from his career with previous guests including the likes of Audrey Riley, Charlie Thomas and Lia Mice. 

His musical life saw him join Bomb the Bass at the age of 16, then sign with iconic US label, Sire Records just a year later. 

Justin’s production and songwriting talents have led him to be involved in more than 20 UK top 20 hits while he has also spent much of his career working on development initiatives for at-risk youth and ex-offenders. 

Commenting on this interview, Lara said: 

I'm so glad our students get to learn from someone like Justin, a hip-hop hero and inspiring human being who's dedicated his life to supporting young people."

In the interview, Justin discusses his essential advice for songwriters and producers as well as the importance of higher education and for music professionals to continue learning and gaining new skills throughout their careers.
