It also mentioned one of LARS famous alumnus, Andrés Borda, who won a Latin Grammy Award in 2015 for record of the year as the producer of Natalia Lafourcade’s “Hasta la Raiz.”

Billboard recognized the historical significance of the building that now houses students, faculty and staff. That’s right, the building was home to the historic RCA studios, then used as a recording studio for famous artists such as Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones and The Grateful Dead. Now, students are steps away from the heavy hitters in the film, music and entertainment industries as the building is located on Sunset Blvd in the heart of Hollywood.
