Philosophy

Music is more than a career. It's more than record sales. It's bigger than MTV and major labels would have you believe.

Those who create music should be rewarded as much as those whose job it is to sell it.

Music takes dedication. Music takes time. Music deserves to be done right.

Music should be honest and true.

It should uplift.
It should not tear down.
It should bring together and not divide.

Music can do all of this.

 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE

Until Further Notice the Sweet Spot Studio offers Mixing and Mastering services only.

We appreciate your patience as we relocate to a facility better suited to serve you!
