I recorded an EP of 5 songs there last spring. I had never made a studio recording before, never even been inside a music studio, and didn't know what to expect. What they helped me create went way beyond what I had hoped for. Briget Boyle, the lead producer on my recording, has an incredible musical ear and instinct for what makes for a great sounding recording. She not only guided me through the recording process, making suggestions as needed, but arranged for a drummer and bassist (per my request) on some songs, and provided invaluable direction in shaping the sound. She also added keyboards herself, again per my request and in collaboration with me, which significantly enhanced the songs by adding dimension and texture. With masterful recording and engineering, as well as mixing and mastering, the end result was nothing short of magical to my ears when compared to what I was starting from. My songs went from simple guitar-and-voice bedroom recordings to fully fleshed out, professional and dynamic tracks that could be played on the radio, streaming services, etc. in terms of the quality of the sound. My vision for the songs, how I heard them in my head, was realized to my complete satisfaction- indeed way beyond what I had hoped for as a novice in the recording world. At ModernTone, you are truly in expert hands. They also provide a warm, welcoming, non-intimidating environment. Briget and the team were always friendly, kind, and patient. It is obvious you are working with people who are experts at what they do, and above all passionate about music. I've learned that a good ear and sensibility are priceless when it comes to studio recording, and you get that in spades at ModernTone. Thank you!

I just searched "music studio near me" on Google and this place popped up. I took a chance with them and it's probably the best decision I've made this year. I've gotten more done In the past 3 months than I have in the last 4 years. I've recorded 4 hip hop EPs and working on an album as we speak and it's all A grade quality work. Dj BigVince and Kadin are super talented engineers who specialize in mixing and mastering. They work their magic to make tracks sound professional and polished. I was impressed with their attention to detail and high level expertise. The founder, Chris Cash, is the real deal. He's a multi-talented artist who can sing, rap, engineer, and make beats. His passion and dedication to music is so apparent everytime I work with him. Whether you need a few songs or a full project, Chris and his team have you covered. Just so you have an idea of Jungle Life Studio services, they offer: recording, music production, songwriting, mixing and mastering, live DJ services, and video recording/editing. Literally a one stop shop!

He was completely professional, upbeat, and a master of sound! He totally took his time to understand my music project and asked me questions and made recommendations to help polish my initial first time recording of a specific song. Even, my vocal coach who flew in from Canada for my recording; agreed on Michael's work ethic and vast knowledge. She is a Juno Award winning artist and has recorded at some of the most well known studios in the world and mentioned that sometimes, ppl may have the the best technology, but they may not know what they are doing and produce crappy results. She mentioned I was in Great Hands and when it was time to complete my project that I should work with Michael! Trust me this was an amazing experience! Thanks Michael!

Our band wanted some demo tapes and Michael had some great ideas and guidance, yet never tried to take over the band's vision for what we wanted.

A no brainer as far as any future projects we may have.

We've been working on my voice for six months, and the progress is impressive. I went from struggling with simple pop songs to difficult pieces from popular musicals and some classical songs. Ivanna opened my eyes on how singing actually works, and I was able to apply the technique to rock and pop too. Ivanna is very considerate and flexible; she adjusts to my busy work schedule. As a teacher, Ivanna is very patient, and she is always paying attention: if there's anything I need to improve, she tells me right away.

Ivanna knows how to keep kids engaged by playing the piano, also she teaches them professional singing by training the vocal skills and expanding theirs octave's range.

I am immensely grateful to Ivanna not only for her lessons, but for the amazing experience that my daughter got thanks to Ivanna. My daughter participated in a musical training project, which ended with an amazing concert on the world famous stage with a group of children from different states. Moreover, her civic and social impact is noticeable in the community thanks to each reporting concert for parents brings joy to the elderly who have the opportunity to enjoy children's singing and youthful energy.

Last night's performance by award winning Maunalua made me feel like I was back in Hawaii being treated to a jam session in someone's backyard.

The only thing I wish is more of the performances can be on weekends since I can't get out here on weekdays but understand that their main engagements in Hawaii are on weekends too.
