Student Story: Landon Fleury
As we keep expanding and adding programs at Northwest University, we gain more and more students with different skills, talents, and passions. Each student chose NU for different reasons, and they all contribute to our community in unique ways.
One of our current students came all the way from Maine to study music production in our Contemporary Music Industry program. Landon Fleury is a sophomore, and he has already become heavily involved in music and ministry outreach at NU. We recently caught up with Landon to talk about his college experience so far. You can read the full interview below.
Name:
Landon Fleury
Hometown:
West Gardiner, Maine
Year and Major(s):
Sophomore, Contemporary Music Industry (Producer concentration)
Work/Hobbies:
Full-time employee at Metropolitan Market
I also write for an online blog called Your EDM (representing the record label Monstercat), and I make a number of album reviews on my YouTube channel, LandonRemixes.
Why did you choose NU?
During my senior year of high school, I was looking into both Christian schools and music production schools. From my small-town home in West Gardiner, Maine, my sister found Northwest University from a Facebook ad, and we both knew we wanted to come here. God works in mysterious ways!
Favorite NU moment?
I had some absolutely life-changing moments, but the one that beats all the rest is when I had the opportunity to hit the big stage during the NU Showcase for NU Unplugged. I played EDM (Electronic Dance Music) for 20 straight minutes, and the crowd was nuts!
What do you do around campus?
I recently took over as president of ARK (Acts of Random Kindness), which is a local missions group dedicated to making people’s days better. I also serve as the DJ for a number of events campus-wide, which has been huge for me. Thank you, NU Student Government!
Also, does racing to the Caf for lunch count as a sport?
Favorite restaurant/food place in Kirkland?
Burgermaster, just down the hill from NU, is the only place around here where you can get a decent grilled cheese! Hats off to you, Burgermaster.
What do you hope to do after you graduate?
I’d love to make a career out of being a DJ and a producer, but we’ll see what God has planned for me!
