Early Life
Wilkins became exposed to music very early in life and was taking piano lessons by age 4. Wilkins soon earned a scholarship to a music conservatory as a child. Growing up Wilkins also played organ at cathedrals and other venues around London.
Wilkins went on to Royal College of Music in London. Wilkins had other intellectual interests outside of music and also graduated with a physics degree from Imperial College.
While in college one of Wilkins early jobs was teaching piano lessons. He also interned at Townhouse Studios and Olympic Studios where he received further training in engineering, mixing, and producing.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“...to many a mother’s heart has come the disappointment of a loss of power, a limitation of influence when early manhood takes the boy from the home, or when even before that time, in school, or where he touches the great world and begins to be bewildered with its controversies, trade and economics and politics make their imprint even while his lips are dewy with his mother’s kiss.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“It is conceivable at least that a late generation, such as we presumably are, has particular need of the sketch, in order not to be strangled to death by inherited conceptions which preclude new births.... The sketch has direction, but no ending; the sketch as reflection of a view of life that is no longer conclusive, or is not yet conclusive.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
