Meet the Team
The idea of creating this space emerged from the minds of two visionary musicians: GNZ and LetOutThePressure. What sets us apart from other studios is our desire to push boundaries in record production and highlight the importance of artist development. We champion bold, new sounds and celebrate individuality. We understand the importance of bringing out the distinct, fierce qualities of every artist who steps into our lair. Every musician has their own origin story, and capturing that essence in their tracks is crucial. We don’t just hit the record button; we ensure that every creative who works with us walks out with a record that uncovers the full potential they had within them all along.
