Jackson Johanson – Founder
It all begins with a great song. Recording has been such a pleasure, and honor, being able to bring people ideas into fruition. I’ve worked very hard on my craft, always getting the most I can out of my equipment, working quickly but efficiently, and staying versatile. My favorite genres to record are Reggae, Punk, Ska, Indie, Hip-Hop, and Pop. My musical and production influences range from Pink Floyd, Sublime, The Beatles, and pop stars such as Billie Eilish.
When it comes to experience, I have educational backgrounds in computers in music, music business, vocals, guitar, piano, and musicianship, recording from the late great Dennis Anderson, and hundreds of hours of experience. I have also worked under Lewis Richards at 17th Street Recording Studio, in Costa Mesa, California. Who recorded southern California legendary reggae bands. My DAW of choice is Logic Pro, as I am well versed in it. I hope to bring many talented musicians visions to life with quality recordings!
KOBE WOOD – Founder
I started playing Music at the Waldorf School of Orange County where I was educated on how to read music in the classical format. In High School I started jamming with my brother and our friends where I learned to play multiple instruments and write songs. By the time I went to Orange Coast College for Music, I had adopted the computer into my creative process. First in Ableton, then Logic and Pro tools, I learned what different softwares have to offer.
Thanks to my amazing mentors, Lewis Richards of 17th street Recording Studio, Dave Murdy, Dennis Anderson, Teresa DeJong Pombo, Deborah Wonderchuck, and many more. I now teach music full time at Guitar Center, so I have to be proficient in all styles of Music as well as tablature and notation. Music is my passion and what I do all day every day. Whether you have a simple idea or a complete song, you’re sure to get the right result. Master the craft and take your music to the next level
