## Background

Michelsen and Erfjord met at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, a school cofounded by Sir Paul McCartney. Michelsen was the first person at LIPA to receive the Music Producers Guild (UK) Prize, "a prize aimed at rewarding the most promising student to graduate from LIPA's Sound Technology degree course."[2]
