JOHNISHA CHILDS
PROJECT & PORTFOLIO I: WEEK 1
FEB, 2021

2. Johnisha Childs is an audio engineer with over five years’
music industry experience. She started her career at Circle
House Studios in Miami, Florida, as a graduate of S.A.E
Institute with an Audio Technology certification. She
worked her way up through the ranks from intern to
becoming an audio engineer. This allows her to collaborate
with a large number of platinum artists and the emerging
artist. She found that many of the emerging artists were as
talented as platinum artists but had no proper guidance for
their careers. Thereafter she has found a new passion and
began a new career as an Agent and Manager for
Recording Artists. Johnisha is in pursuit of a Bachelor's in
Music Business from Full Sail University. She believes that
her experience in the recording studio and her business
studies will allow her not only to represent, but also to
direct artists in the creation of quality music.
