110 Graduates Nominated in 66 Separate Categories, Including Graduates Phil
Tan and Andrew Coleman, Both Nominated for Album and Record of the Year
WINTER PARK, Fla., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2005, an incredible 110
graduates from Full Sail Real World Education were involved in the production
of 76 individual projects nominated for a GRAMMY Award in 66 separate
categories. This is a record number of nominations for Full Sail Graduates in
any single year.
In addition, graduates Phil Tan and Andrew Coleman were directly nominated
for multiple GRAMMY awards for their engineering efforts on Gwen Stefani's
album, Love Angel. Music. Baby, and on Mariah Carey's album, The Emancipation
of Mimi. Both albums have been nominated for Album of the Year and Record of
the Year, and each of the two graduates have earned nominations in both
categories as well.
Tan received four nominations, one each for his mixing work on Album of
the Year nominees for Carey and Stefani, and one each for Record of the Year
nominees, "We Belong Together" (Carey) and "Hollaback Girl" (Stefani). Coleman
received three nominations for his work on The Emancipation of Mimi and Love.
Angel. Music. Baby, and as a Recording Engineer on "Hollaback Girl."
Therefore, both men are eligible to receive a GRAMMY Award of their own if the
nominated artists win.
As an employee of Atlanta-based Rapper/Producer/Songwriter/Record Mogul,
Jermaine Dupri, Tan is achieving incredible success and recognition within the
music industry. "Phil is the best engineer I've ever worked with because he
makes it a point to understand the music that he's mixing, so it makes your
work sound ten times better," said Dupri.
Jay Noble, Full Sail's Alumni Representative stated, "Our graduates work
extremely hard throughout their careers, earning their way into the credits on
so many outstanding releases. This year Full Sail is very proud to see the
talents of Phil Tan and Andrew Coleman recognized by the industry at large. It
must be such an honor to know that the industry you have dedicated your life
to has singled your work out as one of the year's best!"
For 12 out of the last 12 years, a Full Sail graduate has worked on every
GRAMMY Award-winning Album of the Year including: Norah Jones, Come Away With
Me, OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, and last year's Album of the Year,
Genius Loves Company by Ray Charles. Ten of those 12 years have also found
Full Sail graduates nominated directly for an engineering award.
This year as in year's past, Full Sail graduates are represented across
many GRAMMY categories including: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song
of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Rock Album, Best Alternative Music Album,
Best Rap Album, Best Reggae Album, and Best Musical Show Album. Contributing
