Musicians Institute has named DJ and independent artist Charles Chemery as Program Chair of the school’s Independent Artist Program (IAP). Chemery will work alongside the school’s experienced instructors to guide students through the complete creative process—from songwriting, arranging, recording and production to marketing and promotion—over the course of two academic quarters. He brings a wealth of independent artist experience to the table, especially as the former music producer of the AFI Film Festival and his DJing experience with duo, Bleek & Sputnik. His involvement as a music supervisor, talent manager and artist will translate to the IAP Chair role.
