As a young child Gage Grice possessed the ability to mimic and sense sounds. This skill grew with him over the years as Gage also developed a relationship with music and technology: including, videogames, movies, and shows. These similar forms of media helped to shape Gage’s creative odyssey that he still leads to this day.
With little background in music Gage pursued higher education at Fullsail University immediately after graduating from Southern Wake Academy in 2017.
At Fullsail, Gage was taught more than just essential music theory; he was also taught how to score to locked picture, compose music for dramatic settings and interact with the instructor in a way that closely simulates real-world collaboration between a producer and client.
In the Music Production for Media course Gage created music to fit within typical modern broadcast branding and advertising. He also explored music in branding and marketing as he learned to discern the elements that constitute standards in professional commercial music production. Gage expanded his music skills while constructing and producing advertisement and jingle campaign packages as well as a website-branding project.
Gage learned to value how creating music for game audio requires a radical shift in production strategy because of the conditional-access design of games. In the Game Music Composition course, he studied game music, analyzed design approaches and synthesized with a toolbox of production strategies. Gage continued to develop his music skills through group collaboration, construction and the production of a game music project.
Armed with a BS in Music Production and the skills Gage learned at Fullsail University, he pursues a career in multi-media composition.
