I had Truth sit in the studio with a camera and mic set up for about an hour to just chill and play like she would when she’s just messing around on her guitar. Erica, Excel and I left out from the studio and grabbed […]

My daughter Truth had her sweet sixteen last night at our studio. We rented out one of the spaces upstairs that belongs to a photographer who originally rented out the space we are in now. We went all out for this one since it was […]

We had Truth stop by the studio in between classes to record a cover today. She chose to sing What Dreams Are Made Of by Evann McIntosh. Her friend Kevin was also between classes so he came with Truth to watch the small production. We […]
