My name is Patrick Hagemeier and I have been passionate about music since my early childhood. Early on I started self-training and taking lessons playing the drums, guitar and bass. In order to record my own projects, I acquired my first DWA and recording equipment when I was 19 years old. In order to enhance my knowledge and skills, I started studying audio engineering at the SAE Institute Bochum. I graduated with honors and finished at the top of my class with an award for the best final product. For my way into self-employment I have set-up my first professional sound studio and founded Hillside Studios.
