We received your entry!

Talent Statement

“Hello! My name is Jacob Beckett! I’m a producer, DJ, and proud headbanger (Oops, probably should’ve left part that out! Ha ha!)! I’ve been making electronic music for several years, however I decided to go to S.W.I.C as a ridiculously cheap and practical way to start on my bachelor’s degree (although I’m really only getting my bachelor’s degree as a precautionary measure; as in the worst happened and I don’t end up where I want to be; degrees are absolutely useless in my field.) for electronic music composition.

I also like learning new things too, so I have no problem being here whatsoever! This year could not have impacted college freshmen like me any worse than it already has, and I cannot wait to show even more lovely lads what I can do under my moniker Metronoid once this crisis ends! Until then though, enjoy my clip! I figured I may as well introduce to you all how I would approach a set (if someone hires me for a rowdy club, I.E the crowd likes heavier music genres). – Beckett

Songs played: Metronoid – The Juggler Tengraphs – Rippers (VIP)

A Dedication to Stevie Ray Vaughan – Logan Wieter

Talent Statement

“I am a local blues musician. I have always kind of been just a one man band. I’ve been playing guitar for 6 years now. As of August 27, 2020 my favorite blues guitar player, Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan, has been gone for 30 years. I will never have the chance to meet him and play music with him. I don’t know him, but I feel so connected to him, almost like we were close friends, or even brothers. I dedicate this performance to you Stevie. I and many others miss your presence more and more each day. This world could use you and you’re kind wisdom now more than ever. Rest In Peace my friend!

Amazing Grace – Rendition by Jermaine Windham

Talent Statement

Hello! My name is Jermaine Windham. I attended SWIC in order to finish off my gen eds and transfer my credits to a university. I love to both write and sing, and I am planning on double majoring in both Business Administration & Communications! With the challenges we have been facing this tough year,

I thought deeply about how I wanted to showcase my talents for this talent show. I decided to go with a song that I’ve known about for as long as I could remember. A song that highlights the value of hope in times where it may be easy to lose one’s self and believe that all hope is lost.

It’s a powerful song with a deep meaning that I believe could help heal some feelings of fear and despair that some may be feeling during these strenuous times. I hope you all enjoy my rendition of Amazing Grace! Please take care of yourselves and be safe.” – Windham
