The Two Studios: From Kanye West to Eminem, Studio A has produced some of the biggest albums in hip-hop.

The space is equipped with Genelec 1038A, 1031A, NS10 and TAD 5 1 house monitors with Pro Tools Ultimate. Located upstairs, Studio B features unparalleled acoustics, a large selection of preamps and outboard gear and a huge tracking room with four iso booths and sightlines that make it perfect for live band recording. It has a 96 channel SSL 9000J Console and 20 channels of vintage Neve preamps. Studer 827 24 track & 820 1/2” 2 track Analog recorders are available on request.

Aesthetics: Kyle Spicer says, “In addition to offering incredible privacy to artists, Island Sound Studios will bring out a side of your creativity like no other. Because we’re located on the marina in Hawaii Kai, those working in the studios will have beautiful views of the ocean. Hiking is easy with Koko Head in our backyard, snorkeling at Hanauma Bay is just five minutes away, and we can even take you out surfing from our own boat dock. Beyond its history of recording sessions for legends and top-level equipment and amenities, we call it a hidden gem that defies all expectations of what a studio can be. Bryan and I are excited about the studio’s future and continuing to provide the only world class private facility here on the Hawaiian Islands.”

Miami-based rising indie artist, Julia Bhatt first started in the drama room at school, but soon found herself immersed in music. Her parents were avid music fans, and there was always an eclectic mix of sound going on at home. While Bhatt navigated anxiety and lacked the confidence to perform, she was challenged in 9th grade by a family friend to record some originals, so she gathered a group of talented music students (her sister’s friends in the school band program) for the project. Her parents helped Bhatt to find entertainment lawyer Janine Small (who she continues working with today) to protect her songwriting interests and, recognizing her potential, Small connected Bhatt with producer Elliott Jacobson (credits include Ingrid Michaelson, Elle King, Vérité) to help expand her artistry.
