Musician To Complete Studies Abroad

London, England (PRWEB UK) 5 June 2012

A few credits shy of graduating from Columbia College Chicago, Katz Company frontman and namesake, Alex Katz, will be attending IES Abroad from June through July to complete his undergraduate degree and receive a Bachelor of Arts in Arts, Entertainment and Media Management. "I wanted to finish my degree in style and what better way than to do so in London? I?ll complete my degree, intern and gain work experience, perform throughout the city and promote my new single, "Change Our Place," from my latest project, Katz Company Presents: Variety Pop. I want to build upon my past experiences and have the time of my life in London."

With a great deal of experience under his belt, Katz is ready to take the next step in his career in music. "I just completed nearly two-years of work for The GRAMMYs, running their college programming in Chicago. During my time there, I was lucky enough to interview the likes of Childish Gambino, Iron & Wine, Portugal. The Man and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, amongst others, in addition to writing and editing interviews with Deadmau5, Arctic Monkeys, Ellie Goulding, Foster the People and more at last year?s Lollapalooza. I?ve planned and produced events at some of Chicago's storied venues like The Metro, Lincoln Hall and The Vic Theatre and worked countless events including MOBfest, Warped Tour and Bluesfest. An internship or other entertainment related work experience in London would be ideal.?

?As a musician, I?ve kept busy performing and releasing new music. My band, Katz Company, is coming off two months of constant gigging throughout Chicago where we?ve been generating a lot of excitement and gaining a whole lot of new fans. I have a new single out called "Change Our Place" that I plan on supporting with solo performances in and around London and maybe even branching out further to other venues throughout Europe.? "Change Our Place" is available for free via digital download from http://www.katz-company.com on Tuesday, June 5th, 2012 and will also be available for streaming through Spotify and for purchase through CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon.com and other online distributors.

"Change Our Place" is part of Katz Company Presents: Variety Pop which will feature one song released for free every month from June to September. "Releasing one song each month keeps me creative and gives our listeners new material on a consistent basis. We recorded these songs in my home studio back in Chicago rather than working with a producer this time around and had "Change Our Place" mastered by Ron McMaster at Capitol Studios and Mastering in Hollywood, CA. These songs are, without a doubt, the best work we've released thus far."
