Isaiah Villar

Norco College student Isaiah Villar was selected as the 2021 Student of Distinction in the discipline of Music Industry Studies. He was nominated by Professor Brady Kerr.

“He has been a mentor to me,” said Isaiah. “He's given so many mixing tips he's pushed me to become a better artist and better creative. And so without him, I don't think I would have been the artist... I am today.”
