    Amazing recording studio! Hidden away in Aptos, California. The amount of musicians and bands that have recorded there is staggering.

    This is so much more than just a recording studio--it's a place where artists can truly realize…read moretheir dreams because Theresa and Sam genuinely believe in them. My daughter has been recording tracks here, and the experience has been amazing. She feels supported, encouraged, and inspired every step of the way. Theresa has a keen ear for technique and a deep understanding of music, which really comes through in the final product. The production quality of the songs has been top-notch, and I'm so grateful a place like this exists to help bring music to life. Thank you, Theresa and Sam. We truly appreciate everything you do. Sharing the Road is in their way!

    Sam Pura really isn't someone who can be explained. He's more of an experience. I don't care if…read moreyou're a 70 year old, lifelong studio musician composing orchestral scores for Disney, if you're lucky enough to experience Sam Pura, you will learn something. Sam is passionate about his craft and it's apparent immediately. It's all fun and games until it's time to perform. Sam is helping me piece together a demo of things I've been working on for a better part of 2 decades. It's extremely exciting but also stressful and honestly kinda scary. I was so appreciative to have Sam on my side once things got serious. He will push to get the absolute best he can out of you and for good reason. He cares. Like, a lot. He cares about the artist, the song and the quality. When I couldn't play something cleanly Sam literally turned his chair around and used his own human body to mute my strings so we didn't get unwanted overtones. This poor guy is using his thumbs, sliding up and down the neck while I play just because he cares that much about the product. Sam is sincerely inspirational and anyone would be lucky to work with him. There's a reason for everything he does and says and there's a reason he's the best in the business. There's also a reason he's everyone best friend. Sam was patient and kind and goofy when I needed it and knew just how hard to push when I needed it. They don't make strong enough words in the English language to express how grateful I am to have worked with him. Thank you, Sam.

    Making music at Shine On Studios in Oakland, CA is fun! Take it from someone who has worked with…read morethis guy for decades. This review has been a long time coming. No matter what I say, I cannot do Shine On Dave enough justice. I met Dave 20 years ago, I'm guessing it was a Craigslist ad. I was building a recording studio in my home and needed guidance. Dave became that beacon. Since then, I have visited Shine On working with various projects many times over the years. As someone who is a 30+ years experienced vocalist, I have watched Dave grow for decades. He is and has always been, as far as I could see, completely dedicated. Dave's passion of being a well earned award winning recording engineer and studio is why Shine On Studios was awarded as best recording studio after many years of growth. I have witnessed him building 1st hand and his success is from hard work, taking on any project he could get in the early days. He can now pick his jobs as he has paid his dues many times over. If Dave is recording you, you must have something real good. Dave has established an awesome pro studio in Oakland. The sounds he is getting are great. The amps, mixing board and most importantly, Dave's ear are all excellent. Dave's interest in offering a comfortable working environment is obvious. The couches, his attitude and studio sounds are 2nd to none. Thank you Dave and Stef! You make a great team...

    Bluhd I've been with Dave since 2010 and don't wanna go no where else, Shine On Studios for life.read more
