WHERE DID STUDIO 7-22 START?
Studio 7-22 Represents High-Quality, A Passion for Music, and a Love of Sound.
Studio 7-22 started out of my bedroom in my parent's house back around 2012 with me making productions and practicing making instrumentals and beats for my own projects. Since then I've had several clients from many different backgrounds, everything from Rap and Hip-hop, a couple EDM artists, some rock stuff, as well as R&B.
When I started Studio 7-22, I initially had a solo career in mind for being a music producer/artist. Eventually a couple years down the line the recording bug got me and the desire to record others was strong with this one.
I've had all sorts of clients, good, bad, and the whole gamut of skill and quality. You never know what's out there until you work with the good ones. And I've worked with some pretty good ones
