During the session, Knowles offered insights into his creative process and provided advice for students pursuing their own careers in music. His visit was a source of motivation for students and included words of encouragement to inspire them to follow their musical passions.
Reflecting on his visit, Knowles said, "It's always a pleasure to share my passion for music with eager young minds. The talent and enthusiasm displayed by the students at UCM was great to see and I look forward to seeing how their musical journeys continue."
Melanie Clague, Head of the Creative and Leisure Industries faculty at UCM, expressed her appreciation for Knowles' visit, stating, "A huge thank you to Davy for sparing his time and expertise to meet with our students; it was a great opportunity for our budding musicians. Having the chance to ask questions and learn from someone who started their career on the Island and has gone on to international success, provides a source of inspiration that they too can achieve their dreams."
