"Dave Garnish was our in-house engineer, producer, then writer at Universal for a number of years. The quality of his work was always outstanding. He's smart, with an extensive knowledge of different types of music, and I'm sure this will rub off on his education project" Mike McCormack - MD/President Universal Music UK.
