Describe your favorite USC Thornton experience so far.
I am a huge fan of Pop Music Forum. I remember taking the class my freshman year and hearing from famous singer/songwriter, Mac Davis. He was a legend, so hearing what he had to say about the music industry and songwriting was an experience I will cherish forever!
