Our founding crew has been shaping sound since the early 2000s, with over 40 years of combined experience. Jayson, Kaniel, and Randy—our founders and lead engineers—each bring at least 14+ years of producing and engineering expertise to every session.
We’ve crafted platinum records, earned Grammy recognition, and collaborated with industry heavyweights. And we have the credentials to prove it: 7x platinum records and 2x Grammy nominations among us.
We’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the biggest names in the game. Our collective credits include work with industry titans like Drake, Chris Brown, Young Thug, and more. We bring that same level of expert attention to every project—whether you’re dropping your first track or your fifteenth album.
