Brilliant experience at the Studios, was there for my 11 yo bday with friends of hers to record a couple of songs and they had a blast. The team there was excellent, both from a technical standpoint and an EQ perspective: Kwadjo is a gem of an engineer and he put his musical/technical/teaching skills in motion to expertly lead this very active and creative group for 3 hours. There were snacks, etc. for each break to keep them going, really well organised, thank you Drew and team. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

I'm not usually one to leave reviews, unless the level of service is THAT outstanding to warrant me doing so. My experience at the Lab Studios has been nothing less than exceptional, CONSISTENTLY! Customer satisfaction is LITERALLY guaranteed, especially when it comes to the efficiency in customer service, communication, reliability, execution, promptness, delivering and consistency. However what I personally love, is the range of quality equipment within the facility, which of course enhances the quality of the works done...but more importantly, how relatable and down to earth Drew Horley is, who I hired as a producer. As an artist, you're generally very sensitive about your art and can sometimes feel very vulnerable sharing it. In order to be able to execute well, you need to be very comfortable in the space in which its shared and those within it. Drew has the ability of not only making you feel at ease and very comfortable, but LITERALLY brings out the BEST in you. I admittedly, am not the most easiest person to work with, as I'm very particular and quite finicky. However, Drew not only embraces this, but explores and exhausts every possible option to ensure I'm content and fully happy. What I truly find remarkable about Drew is his great ear. I also absolutely LOVE and admire his attention to detail, his patience, wisdom, understanding and knowledge. He is extremely thorough, and not one to cut corners, which I find VERY refreshing to say the least. More importantly, the multiple skills in which Drew hones, his diverse knowledge in music, along with his ability to play and understand various instruments, ultimately puts him at a high advantage. This makes Drew so flexible and adaptable with his ability to effectively execute any task given to him, irrespective of genre. This is just a few reasons as to why he is MY go-to AND personal favourite for 6 years and counting. There's nothing better than working with someone you love to work with, and I absolutely RELISH Drew Horley and the LAB studios.

I needed to do a promo recording for getting more function work. I found Drew to be professional yet friendly, and accommodating. Really good production on my demo recording and video. Big thank you to Drew for liaising with making the booking happen, and Byron on the actual day. Highly recommend.
