Access Creative College

Congrats to Dylan, who recently featured in The Rolling Stones music video for ‘In The Stars’ as one of the guitarist on set.

Dylan is currently in his second year studying music performance. What an incredible opportunity! 🤩

From ACC student to one of the most streamed artists in history 🎧

In celebration of 20 years of Spotify, Ed Sheeran has officially been named the 6th most streamed artist of all time with over 58 BILLION streams 🌍

Back in 2007, Ed studied Artist Development at Access Creative College London!

Did you know? Ed also won the Island Records emerging talent search that ACC participated in early in his career. 👀

To celebrate this huge milestone, here’s a throwback to when Ed sat down backstage at Wembley Stadium with fellow ACC alumni Beth McCarthy to share his advice for new artists.

Proof that every journey starts somewhere ✨

Throwback to our recent taster day in London with the next generation of ACC music students! 🎧

Last week, our Year 1 Level 3 Music Performance student James stepped onto the stage at the iconic Birmingham arena alongside Yungblud 🎸

James said: “My first thought as soon as I got on stage was how much pressure I was going to be under for the next ten minutes. As soon as Yungblud told the audience I was nervous, everything changed. What an experience to be given I will always be grateful for it! Being able to to this kind of thing doesn’t happen often at all and to be able to get up there, hand him one of my bands business cards and even mention a friend who lost their mom this year deserves their moment too! Thank you to Yungblud for this opportunity! I will never forget what he did for me!”

We are so proud of you James, and know this is just the first of many arena stages you’ll be stepping onto!

The games industry offers a wide range of career opportunities - from character and environment design to coding, animation, and interactive storytelling.

For parents or carers supporting a child with an interest in this sector, it can be helpful to understand that these roles are built on structured, creative and technical skills, not just enthusiasm for playing games.
