Welcome to SupaJam Education Podcasts!
SupaJam is a unique group of Post-16 specialist music colleges based in Swanley, Canterbury, Brighton and Wandsworth.
We offer carefully tailored placements to young people aged 16-25 with an EHCP.
Many of our students may have previously struggled in mainstream education due to social, emotional or special educational needs
but our bespoke campuses, small class sizes and caring, supportive staff allow all our students to achieve and progress in a happy, inclusive environment.
This podcast gives a voice to our students, allows them to interview industry professionals, give their reaction to special events we go to, and is also part of our work experience platform!

Andre Louis (AKA Onj), a visually impaired musician from London, demonstrates how he makes music using Logic, Voice Over, and his keyboard.
The skills on show here are unreal, and Andre is an inspiration! Andre has also been mentoring some SupaJam students and the results have been incredible.
I hope you enjoy finding out his music making process, and also look out for his insane finger drumming skills!
