About The Studio

In March 2024, Michael embarked on an ambitious project to build a new recording studio in the basement of a Brooklyn townhouse. The project took nearly a full year to complete but was a major success. He designed the studio and did the build almost entirely on his own — framing, drywall, painting, acoustic treatment, wiring, and much more.

The studio is now home to a ton of really cool gear, a welcoming vibe, and an understanding, patient and talented producer.
