Hey friend – thanks for considering the AMP Training Program! I’m Travis Dempsey, an author, audio engineer, producer, and music teacher from West Palm Beach, Florida.

I am the co-founder of AMP Music Lab, Palm Beach County’s largest and most loved Music School for audio recording and music production lessons. Prior to AMP, I was the lead university instructor for eight years at one of the top four recording & music technology programs in the USA. Over the last two decades I have taught over 10,000 students seeking mastery in all aspects of Recording Arts at the highest level.

Before perusing my passion for teaching and mentoring:

• I clocked over 33,000 hours working in professional world-class recording studios
• Recognized and received awards from the American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers (ASCAP/ASCAP PLUS)
• Co-wrote original music for Rock-N-Roll hall of Fame inductee Deborah Harry (lead singer of Blondie)
• Produced and licensed original music for network and broadcast clients including Fuel TV and Nickelodeon.
• Composed original music for Emmy nominated series on CBS.
• Was a staff audio engineer at Battery Studios (NYC) and studio technician at Capture Sound Studios (Brooklyn, NY)
• Worked at Zomba Music Group, and later Sony/BMG Music Entertainment, tracking top-tier recording artists (Brittney Spears, Sean Paul) and other special projects in world-class recording studios.

However, my journey in professional audio first started in middle school running soundboards for the morning announcements and later for theatre department at my local high school, Dreyfoos School of the Arts in Downtown WPB, where I studied theatre technology. It was there -in my junior year, my friend Tim (aka Downtown Tim) introduced me to the Boss Dr-202. It was the first beat machine I had ever seen. In fact, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as beat machines before that day. It was love at first sight and haven’t looked back since. I’ve seen music technology come along way since I first started; and, I can honestly say that there has never been a better time to compose, record, and mix original music using the computer.

There has never been a better time to compose, record, and mix original music using the computer.      -Trav D
