How Berklee Online Graduates Balance Music Careers, Entrepreneurship, and Advanced Degrees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, Desanka Ilic and David Pinder flew from LA to Boston to walk together in their commencement ceremony. One year later, the couple did it all over again, this time as graduates of Berklee Online\u2019s Music Business master\u2019s program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were able to support each other throughout the process and have really great discussions about what we were learning in class that helped us develop the information that much further,\u201d says Desanka. \u201cI feel like the business side of my brain is super evolved, and being a musician in LA, it\u2019s helpful to have that leg up on everyone else and know how the music industry works and operates.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desanka (a vocalist and actor) and David (a drummer) earned both their bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees in Music Business from Berklee Online. The two working musicians launched their own music publicity firm, Cold Coffee Entertainment<\/a>, after they started their undergraduate program. They both continue to perform professionally while they run their business, though Desanka will be taking on the day-to-day responsibilities. David recently landed a position in the comedy department at Gersh<\/a> in LA, a talent agency that represents comedians such as Dave Chappelle.

\u201cBeing out in LA, there are so many bigwigs with their master\u2019s and doctorates,\u201d says David. \u201cWe felt that having a bachelor’s degree wasn\u2019t enough. Not only that, Berklee Online was such an amazing experience for the bachelor’s degree that doing the master\u2019s degree was a no-brainer. We thought having that extra knowledge would be helpful and it has been. Without it I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be able to get this opportunity at Gersh.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Desanka and David, many students from Berklee Online\u2019s class of 2019 already work in entertainment. It\u2019s not uncommon for students to complete assignments on tours, backstage before shows, and in between film shoots. This year\u2019s graduating class is full of students with similar stories, who pushed the limits of what can be done within a 24-hour day, reorganizing their already-busy schedules to accommodate the pursuit of a degree.

What is Allison Scagliotti Doing Now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The above is something that people regularly type into Google. Well, this is the answer: graduating from Berklee! Allison Scagliotti had a long list of acting and music credits before earning her Interdisciplinary Music Studies degree with Berklee Online. She has acted in TV shows such as Stitchers<\/em>, The Vampire Diaries, Warehouse 13<\/em>, and Drake & Josh<\/em>. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSometimes by design and sometimes by accident, music has always found its way into my work on camera,\u201d says Allison. \u201cLikewise, my experience in crafting character and drama is invaluable to my songwriting process. … I\u2019ve always wanted to be more like a Swiss Army knife than a steak knife. Why do one thing when you can do seven?\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allison recently released a new EP within a genre she refers to as \u201cFrench lounge horror ballads\u201d titled All of Them Witches<\/a><\/em> under La Femme Pendu, a musical persona birthed from her time at Berklee. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI entered the program having written maybe half a song and playing covers at open mic nights in every dingy bar that would have me,\u201d she says. \u201cThankfully, people change. The originality I struggled to find came through the battery of courses in ear training, artistry, entrepreneurship, and performance that shaped how I now approach creativity.\u201d

Earlier in the career of Mikaela Attard, she relocated from Malta to Boston to study Vocal Performance at Berklee. After moving back to Malta, she enrolled in Berklee Online\u2019s Music Production bachelor\u2019s program and graduated this year. Mikaela excelled in her online classes while touring Europe as the vocalist for her symphonic black metal band, MartYrium<\/a>.

\u201cIt was a bit challenging, I will admit, but at the same time it made me stronger as a musician,\u201d says Mikaela. \u201cI was so satisfied at the end and scored an A! Hell, yeah!\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julio Barreto is familiar with the challenge of performing while taking classes online. The pianist from Argentina graduated from Berklee Online this year with his master\u2019s degree in Music Production. After performing piano for most of his life, Julio is excited to start the transition into the production side of the music industry. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe opportunity to have video sessions with my instructors every week was amazing,\u201d says Julio. \u201cYou could ask them, \u2018Hey, what was it like working with Radiohead?\u2019 or \u2018How do you get that drum sound for Paramore in Riot<\/em>?\u2019 They share their secrets with you and it\u2019s amazing. I don\u2019t know any other place where you can ask Grammy winners and the best in the industry to share their secrets with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another of Julio’s favorite aspects about studying with Berklee Online was the ability to collaborate with classmates from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You can learn as much from your classmates as you can from your instructors,” says Julio. “One of the things I love most about Berklee Online is you can get feedback from your classmates who are all so talented.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Julio’s classmates that he was happy to see at Commencement was RJ Strayhorn, who also graduated with his master’s in Music Production. RJ served in the United States Army Band Field for more than 20 years as a percussionist, and is a retired veteran based in Hawaii.

\u201cThe master\u2019s program made me a better musician because I\u2019m more aware of what needs to happen in the production process,\u201d says RJ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julio agrees: \u201cIt\u2019s not just about the piece of paper or the certificate on the wall,\u201d he says. \u201cEverything you learn just completely transforms your personal and professional life and Berklee takes you to the next level.\u201d
