Too bad TRL is in its last season or else you'd catch my new music video real soon. You hear that…read moreeveryone? I'm kinda a big deal. I came to SugarHill Recording Studios with bosslady Andrea R to meet with fellow yelper and SHRS extraordinaire, Gina M. Unbeknown to us, there was a recording session going on in one of the studios for Stan Keeton. We were later approached to take part in the session. Alas, my big break. So there we were, standing with cups, keys, spoons and other nifty noisemakers giving off sounds of holiday cheer. After about three takes, we finally nailed it. Back to SugarHill and what it's all about. SugarHill isn't just a recording studio. With more than 65 years in the bizz, Houston's historical music scene is what it is because of SugarHill. Names like Lightnin' Hopkins, The Rolling Stones, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Selena, Janis Joplin, Jermaine Duprie, Destiny's Child, Clay Walker, Southern Backtones and countless others have recorded here. The studio facilitates two recording studios, an amazingly talented staff of engineers, vintage equipment, a tape vault and other highlights to help create your perfect album. What many don't know is that SugarHill is open for anyone to rent out, and that can cost as little as $70 an hour. I like to consider myself as someone who knows a lot about the city, but I am shamed to say that I had no idea that SugarHill was right in Houston's backyard. Glad I *finally* caught on. A side note for everyone, Friday November 28, 2pm, SugarHill Recording Sessions will air on 90.1 KPFT (or on stream at kpft.org). The monthly broadcasted Sessions will introduce independent artists to the city by featuring unique talent straight from the studio. Tune in!

So I came here the other day to record my new album.... Bet…read moreya didn't know I was a singer, did you? OK, I'm NOT...the only singing I do is in the shower, but I think the peeps at SugarHill could even make me sound good! So the real reason Miss Farrah A and I were here was to hang with fellow yelper, Gina M. Gina is a lucky gal because she works for SugarHill! She gave us a fun tour of the place that has recorded hits for many artists including Destiny's Child, Lyle Lovett, etc. We met lots of engineers and other people who work here and they all greeted us with a big smile. I'd be smiling lots too if I got to listen to cool music all day long! While Beyonce wasn't at SugarHill the day we were there (darn- must have been elsewhere with her boy Jay-Z) there was a very nice older gentleman recording a xmas song. Farrah and I both commented that it sounded like a country xmas song. Only in Texas- right? It turned out that the country xmas singer needed some background noise for his song so he asked Farrah, Gina, I, and a few others to chit chat in the background and pretend we were at a holiday party. I may not be able to sing, but I can chit chat and party until I'm blue in the face so this was the perfect job for me! Unfortunately, I wasn't as talented as I thought and we had to do this over 3 times, but now i feel very experienced in fake party talk. So a few weeks from now you'll be able to buy my first song (stay tuned for the name of the singer!), recorded by SugarHill....just listen for that chit chat in the back!! PS: Received word from SugarHill that the man behind my new hit is....Stan Keeton!

I checked out Studio713 in the Warehouse District of downtown Houston earlier this week to see what…read moreresources were available. They offer everything from audio and video production, photography, and the use of a cyclorama (675 sq space with lighting). For video production, they use cinema-quality RED® cameras. When entering the studio, there was a plaque on the wall showcasing that Justin Bieber actually recorded his vocals for DJ Snake's "Let Me Love You" at this location. I met with Tyler Casper, the head of Studio713's video department, and nerded out with him in the Cyclorama. Half of it was painted white, and the other half was a bright green for any green screen shots. I personally do similar type of work, so it was actually refreshing to communicate with another professional who actually knows what he's talking about. When it comes to art and production, it's best to work with people who are passionate and educated about what they are doing. I really liked my experience at Studio713. Whenever I need some extra help on a project whether I need audio or video production, photography, or even studio space, I know exactly where to go. Thanks to Tyler and the rest of the team for the great introduction to the studio!

First day I walked in, I saw this unique handcrafted small body jazz guitar. The proprietor, Taka Moro, built it over 13 months ! We started the first lesson. I was floored. He is an extremely accomplished jazz player and complete musician as well. He does this UNBELIEVABLE set up. I have had him do what he terms as 'premium setup' on one classical/hybrid, three electrics including one Traveler guitar, Gibson LesPaul ES and Gibson Johnny A. Honestly, I didn't know what I had until he put his craft to work. He will have you play for him so he knows exactly how to set it up. You will be amazed !! He will send you pics of the entire process. No BS here..none. His own crafted guitars are to die for..action, tone..complete everything ! Honestly, I am not a pro, but I've been to several of the top repair guys in Houston over the years, but this is the SH*T !. Taka will not hold your guitar hostage for several months (dealt with that), brush you off (again, been there) or do a half ass job..nothing but PERFECTION every time !! Take lessons, repair your guitar or build you a custom whatever axe you may dream of....

The praises from the bride and groom side are pouring in with your names. You took Baarat to a whole new level. Your DJ presence during the wedding was well versed with the rituals. Everything was perfectly timed and in harmony, including the sitar, tabla, and mantras. You performed a fantastic job!

My husband and I just recently got married and hired Desi Junction DJs with Iqwak and I think this was the biggest blessing ever. My husband is Persian and I am Indian so we wanted a blend of the two cultural musical styles along with some of our fan favorites, edm/house etc. Iqwak straight up studied Persian music to figure out what the crowd would like. He would gauge the selection based on the people who would get up and dance. He was so welcoming and in our meetings leading up to the wedding he was all ears and made us feel like superstars. Our friends are still talking about how great the wedding was but the value of Iqwak is immeasurable. Him and Desi Junction DJs will turn your wedding from memorable to insanely epic. He's also the kindest person around and treats you like a friend which made the entire experience that much better. 1000/10 recommend to any and every one!
