UMI was an unforgettable time for me. Being with Papi and the community members is an experience I hold dearly in my heart. I am very grateful for the experience that Papi gave us and I think it's priceless. In terms of the things I have improved upon ever since joining UMI was my choice of samples, arranging in regards to K-Pop and learning/making a song that stands out. I have also learned toplining and learned how the industry works among many other things. I've have felt very inspired, and I'm very thankful for that. Most importantly, I've had a lot of fun, which I didn't take for granted. It was always fun interacting with everyone in the Discord and during the weekly classes! I'm not a well-established producer like Papi himself, but I definitely feel closer to that than I was a few months ago (even though there are a ways to go!) If I didn't make the decision to join UMI, learning all this would've definitely taken me longer and I might've not known about it either. I hope, through UMI, you can find what you're looking for in your music journey and even in your life. Whether you decide to stay for a little while or longer, my wish is that I hope you've made friends along the way and come out as a knowledgeable producer. However, keep learning! Take your time with it, some things might click right away, and other times you'll have to be patient, but that's okay! People are ready to help out if something is not clear.

I personally have learned and gained a lot from this course. I feel like taking a big step from simply being a K-pop fan to really starting to know about the K-pop industry. Not only have I gained the knowledge of how to make K-pop as a producer, but also I have had the chance of getting to know so many great people from all over the world and collaborate with them. Especially I used to work solely on my own and hardly knew anyone who's interested into K-pop. But within this community, I finally get to meet people who share the same interests as I do and talk about things while learning from each other. There's no doubt that this course has impacted my life in many ways.

The course was a life changing experience for me. It gave me the tools and confidence I needed to improve myself as a producer and topliner. I was a bit apprehensive to take part: a professional producer would hear my work! Would I be able to keep up? Would I get the help I needed? But the feedback I received from both the teacher and the other participants was very helpful. The community provides a safe and fun environment. You’ll meet likeminded people to collaborate with, and you’ll feel like embarking on a journey together.

The course itself provided me with heaps of information and practical tips that I could apply immediately. It was so much fun and so fulfilling to see not only my own growth, but also that of the others in the community. I was so sad the course was over, I wanted it to go on forever!
