Musicians Institute's Recording Artist Program (RAP) announces some exciting news for this fall's session. A music industry dream team, if you will, has been created at "The World's Most Innovative College of Contemporary Music." MI has just announced four new Project Advisors with impressive music industry credentials will be joining the staff of instructors who work one-on-one with students as they write, record and produce their centerpiece original Recording Projects. New Advisors include*:

Alessandro Cortini, touring keyboard player with Nine Inch Nails and writer/singer/producer/leader of Modwheelmood.

Jonathan Bates, frontman for electronic rock groundbreakers Mellowdrone.

Ronny Mikkelsen, engineer for the immensely popular and influential LA radio show Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW-FM as well as the Axis of Justice radio show with Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) and Serj Tankian (System of a Down).

Paul Weinstein, producer/musician extraordinare with collaborative/co-writing credits alongside Timbaland and Justin Timberlake.

About Musicians Institute
Despite its success in priming over 20,000 musicians, producers, engineers, vocalists and music industry professionals for careers in every contemporary genre of music— rock, funk, R&B, hip-hop, jazz, blues, and fusion, among others—MI is still one of the best kept secrets in the music education field. Located in the heart of Hollywood, just blocks from the Capitol Records tower, MI has an incredible history of innovation dating back to its origins in 1977 as the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT), which broke new ground as a performance-based contemporary music school taught by working professionals. Within a few years, GIT was joined by bass and drum programs to form Musicians Institute and the evolution has continued to this day with degree and certificate programs for career-minded guitarists, bassists, drummers, vocalists, keyboardists, recording engineers, independent producers, guitar makers, music business professionals and filmmakers.

MI’s location is a key part of the equation, training students for contemporary music careers in the very heart of the contemporary music industry. One-of-a-kind facilities tucked just off Hollywood Boulevard surround students with professional tools and atmosphere including top-of-the-line recording studios, an array of project studios, dozens of workstations, HD editing systems, a 500-seat concert facility and a wide variety of performance stages, class-rehearsal rooms and practice labs.

*Project Advisor information is accurate as of the date of this announcement.
