Testimonials:
I had the time of my life during LAMISA last summer. I have met amazing and talented people who want to keep friendship forever. Everyone was super nice and very supportive and helpful to everyone. I definitely want to go back next year.
Sylvia Pohl - Brazil
LAMISA was one of the best experiences I could have asked to be a part of. I got an email from my college teacher to apply for this internship in California, and I felt instantly pulled to give it a try. The trip exceeded all expectations; I got to meet and work with the top producers and engineers in the LA Music Industry, as well as within Paramount Recording Studios. I learned trade secrets and worked hands on with staff and millions of dollars worth of equipment. This experience lent to many new connections, both friendships and professional. Thank you LAMISA crew for all of your hard work and energy that allowed us all to generate authentic connections for life!
