Studying at Berklee doesn't guarantee you'll become a music superstar, but if you take a look at a short list of a few famous alumni, you'll see plenty of examples of people who left our classrooms to make some of the most enduring contributions to contemporary music.

Where would we be without the memorable songs of Aimee Mann, Alf Clausen's Simpsons theme, or the hundreds of timeless records produced by Quincy Jones?

Below you'll see the names of 30 of our most recognizable alumni. As you browse throughout our site, you'll find more alumni names, and see that fame is only one way of measuring success, for there are scores of educators, music therapists, engineers, business professionals, and many other alumni whose more unheralded accomplishments are just as worthy of praise.
