DO NOT RENT HERE. Very shady and unprofessional. I went through a major horror with the owner "Pops," a belligerent drunk with no sense of what is legal for a landlord to do. He hijacked all my musical gear. Asides from hearing stories from friend's bands that he stole deposit money, I went through a surreal hell dealing with this studio. Here is my story, I am a female musician who drums in 3 bands, all of who practiced here, as well as my boyfriends band. Evidently the whole buildings wifi router was located in our room. So, as my boyfriends band was leaving, a man who reeked of booze and body odor, who was clearly on some sort of upper drug (meth, crack, ect.) barged in on them, and went to the router to mess with it. As he looked homeless and smelled, they asked who he was and why he was there. This man just grunted at them and wouldn't say. Once there were like "dude, tell us who you are or leave!" he just said he was with pops, and told them to leave and he would lock our room up. Since they had no idea who this man was, they were not going to leave him alone with at least $15,000 worth of music gear. This man, who turned out to be the meth addict manager Jay, called Pops who showed up and started screaming, threatened to kick my boyfriend's ass, and would not even listen to their side of the story, IE a random stranger barging in and refusing to give them any answers. Pops then called the bandmate who pays the rent about how we had to get out now, screaming about what big pieces of crap WE are and that evidently no one who disrespects his unidentified employee can rent there. (mind you, mid month, we had paid through the 31st.) So, I, who was not even there, called this Pops man up to explain that we are good people and I was on my way there to pick my drums up for a show. Pops screamed at me, told me that "he was gonna kill my boyfriend that he was the toughest guy in the world, and called me a worthless slut and that I deserved no respect as a human until I dumped my piece of shit boyfriend." I showed up for my drums about 20 minutes later and they had changed the lock on our door to our room, that we had paid for for the month and had all of our gear in it. As I tried calling him, he would not answer at all. All my music gear was illegally stole by this weak, cowardly old man. I went to the show drumless, had to borrow a set, and just before I was about to play he called me and said he was throwing all my gear on the street!!! I begged and pleaded and all he would do was tell me I won't get my gear back until I dump my boyfriend and give him his address so he can go beat him to death. I had people rush over there to make sure he did not throw our gear on the street. Of course, it was locked still and they were not there. After I played my set, nearly in tears worrying about my drums, he told me to come get it now. So I headed over, still locked, still nobody answering. I went home, completely stressed by this horrid situation. Then, at 1 am he called me, so drunk it was all a slurry mess, saying stuff like "Everybody loves Pops, I'm a good guy, I'm a good guy." I was begging him to please let me have my stuff back, and he just kept saying he was a "good guy." He then said to get my stuff tomorrow, and that he would give me any room I wanted for any price I wanted as long as I dumped my boyfriend. What a piece of shit. Of course, I rented a Uhaul the next day, went there at noon (the time he agreed to let me in,) and did he show up? NO......did he answer his phone?.....NO.....Was the room still locked up with a new lock we didn't have a key for.....YES!!! Pops is a horrible, sad and pathetic old man who tries to conduct landlord business under the influence of alcohol and drugs. He has no sense of what is legal and has some inflated sense of self worth, thinking he is the toughest man on the planet (probably the meth talking.) He is a coward and a shady business man (although business man is a bit of a stretch for this uneducated creep.) He kept calling me sweetie and babe on the phone, and I found out from another gal who was considering renting there that he left her a message too where he called her "baby." This studio is ran by a sexist coward meth head. Your gear is not safe, he will lock it away from you at will, basically just because he doesn't like you. He will call you repeatedly at 1-2am, wasted, and try to convince you (or probably himself) that he is a"good guy." He is a thief, a slum lord of music studios. read more

DO NOT RENT HERE! The owner who called himself pop's is a bully and a racist, is a well known scammer who steal the security deposit from the tenants not matter what, this is the last place where you want to have a studio business this drunk ass prick will be roaming around half naked wearing a rope yelling and pick up fights with his" staff" I tried for a couple months to run my studio here but the strong cigar smell and this awful human being made it really embarrassing to bring clients here, the rooms are not isolated at all, if someone fart next door you'll hear it on your mic, terrible construction, the ac just don't work, it's just a noise machine blowing hot air into the room, the free internet is a joke I couldn't download any file from my clients since the signal and the services it's the worst I ever experienced, one time the computers estimate 99 days to download a mix that I needed to master for a client, the rooms Only have one breaker that you have to share with the ac , every time the ac kicked in there was noises and power down my gear , terrible for any profesional audio equipment, on top of that the first week I was there the place was shut down because a cockroach infection on the room across the hallway. The poorly insulated selling is dropping a very cancerous dust 24/7 Seriously don't rent here if you are serious about your music, you'll only would like to rent here if you wanna shot heroine in peace. read more

I thought this place was pretty cool Until I Met This old piece of shit who owns the Place. POPs, Is A RUDE RUDE Asshole motherfucker who is Obviously cracked out of his mind and treats Decent, hard working people like Shit based on no solid facts or just cause he may not like you for no reason. Fuck that guy. He kicked me and my band out of there for being "RUDE" to some Worker/maintenance man who barges into our Room unannounced, and when we asked who he was and why he was in our room, he just told us to call POPS. Keep in mind the area is full of hobos and this guy looked like one of them so i asked the guy politely to please leave. Aparently that warrents a reaction where he comes drugged out of his mind and forcably ejects , not only us, but EVERYONE who shares this room, and threatens to change the locks with all our stuff inside. This man is a Piece of HUman GARBAGE and does not deserve hard working musicians wasting there time at such an awful place. Not only that but the Rooms are terrible and have no Soundproofing and a piss floor soaked bathroom. POPS you can eat a mutherfucking dick!! read more

Becuase when I was shown the horribly filthy unit I was told that it wasnt even in the papaer yet...complete liar..and low bottom scum..STAY AWAY FROM ROCK STAR STUDIOS...ITS A DRUG INFESTED HEAP.. read more

warning - i took over ' popps ' loft and jay ( janitor) is an out of his mind drunk who threatens physical violence and scratched up my car on a drunk bender. https://youtu.be/pxqh-o5ic1k here's a video of jay threatening musicians at this ' illegal' place. they've been reported to both building and safety and the irs - we're moving to shut them down after they locked us out of our loft - forcing me to move and they kept $1,200 in camera and music equipment after sawing their way into the loft and shutting down the utilities without cause or warning ( it's all jays' fault really) go to downtown rehearsals - at least there - you'll be treated with respect. read more

Rockstar isn't for the musician . It's only for " certain " musicians . A word to the wise if you are going to rent a room from these people expect to get your stuff rummaged through from whoever has the key to your room and expect the rules to shift in favor of the friends of management. I would never recommend this place to anyone . I'm surprised the authorities haven't been by to check that place out. I rented a place about 2 years ago and still have a friend that rents there and from what I understand it hasn't changed at all . Dr read more

I love Rock Star Studios. This has been my spot to practice my drums for over 15 years. There is a great community of musicians here. The location is amazing and the staff feels like family. I highly recommend RSS to anyone looking for a place to rehearse in central Los Angeles. read more
