Heyy there! I was lately wondering about the musical upbringing of PC music artists, they all seem to come out of nowwhere yet many of them show excellent compositional and technical abilities, especially A. G. Cook and Danny L Harle.
Does anyone have any kind of insight into that?

from the pc music article on wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Music#Details): Cook had previously worked on Gamsonite, a "pseudo-label" collecting his early collaborations, while studying music at Goldsmiths, University of London.[5] He founded PC Music in August 2013, as a way of embracing an A&R role.[6]
from danny l harle's soundcloud bio: Daniel is a freelance acoustic and electronic composer in London, writing for classical performance, film, television and dance. He is currently studying on a scholarship with Julian Anderson at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. He studied at Goldsmiths, University of London with Roger Redgate, Dimitri Smirnov and Jeremy Peyton-Jones. His instruments, whilst at university, were the bass guitar and the double bass. As a performer, he has played as a member of various ensembles at venues including the ICA, Kings Place and the Queen Elizabeth Hall.

wow, thanks, that's some cool/insightful information!
funny that you can read about this on wikipedia, the most obvious source of information but I somehow didn't bother looking there
I'm amazed how multi-talented and skilled both of them are.... they sure put in a lot of work trying to get better

IIRC GFOTY went to the University of London at the same time as Cook and Harle

If her Instagram is any indication, GFOTY is studying at Le Cordon Bleu at the moment. I'm also pretty sure that Spinee is/was a student at Goldsmiths, University of London.
