CASE STUDY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
26Th November 2012
The Stow College graduate building a music empire
Despite only being 20 years old, Mathew Sadowski has big
ambitions.
The student, who has just graduated from Stow College with an HND
in Music Business, is already steering a band towards global success.
Matthew
said: “After completing my first year of studies at Stow College I took up a
managerial role for a brand new Scottish band called ‘Holy Esque’. This led me
to putting to use a lot of the knowledge I had already gathered. Within just
five months, we were making our first trip to London for two shows and it
completely took off from there.”
Hailing
from East Kilbride, Matthew found himself jetting around Europe with Holy Esque
booked to play at scores of gigs, including Tallinn Music Week in Estonia.
“I met a lot of interesting and influential
people and absorbed so much. The end of my second year became a mad rush
against time to finish course work but I managed to overcome it and received a
grade I’m really happy with.”
Stow
College’s Creative Industries department has developed an international
reputation with teaching staff who have witnessed the music and media
industries first-hand. The college has its own record label, Electric Honey,
which is run by students and helped launch the careers of a number of big name
acts including Belle & Sebastian and Biffy Clyro.
Matthew
now plans to continue managing Holy Esque and is confident about his future.
“The
band is about to go on a UK and EU 15 date tour supporting The Ravonettes,
which I’m delighted about. Holy Esque is also the first Scottish band so far
this year to be confirmed in the line-up for 2013’s South by SouthWest Music
Festival in the USA. Things are looking pretty good for both me and the band
and I’d like to thank Stow College for helping me to get where I am today.”
