Guy studied A Levels in Music, Music Technology and Drama and Theatre Studies with us between 2022 and 2024, securing 2 A* grades and 1 B. He then took a year out to focus on applying to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, while working part-time and volunteering at a music studio called Young Thugs in York’s Southbank Social Club. 

In autumn 2025, Guy secured a place at the world-famous institution to study a four-year Bachelor of Music Honours degree in Electronic and Produced Music. The rigorous selection process saw him compose musical pieces that were evaluated by a highly distinguished and discerning judging panel. The Guildhall’s illustrious alumni includes the likes of Daniel Craig, Ewan McGregor, Myleene Klass, Sir Noel Coward and The Beatles’ former Record Producer Sir George Martin.

Guy says that he is grateful for the support he received from his former College tutor Andrew Cleaton throughout the Guildhall application process, which sees candidates deal directly with the school rather than through the UCAS system. “Andrew was such a big help to me and gave me good references,” Guy said. “I asked him so many questions on Teams and, if you do come to College, you have everything here that you need to take the steps to get in at the Guildhall in terms of the facilities and teachers, who do know everything you need to know. With the access to the music studio you get, the really top-quality mics and the tuition, you get to learn how to use them properly and put those skills into practice.”
