Inside View
Nathaniel Fuller, Music Performance
"The Music Performance course at South Thames College was a really good starting point for my career. I liked how my tutors used to talk about the music business and their expertise in the industry. After I finished my course in 2010, I then went on to become a freelance drummer and since then I’ve gone on tour with Jessie J, played for N-Dubz, Tinie Tempah and I’m currently on tour playing for an artist called Wretch 32."
