oku studio
In February 2023, I opened my new studio space, which is a dream come true for me. It is located in the French countryside near the Swiss border, and it is part of a full house with sleeping and cooking facilities, and direct access to the garden. The studio has been put to the test heavily and is being used on a weekly basis for recording, producing, and mixing.
Some of my credits for producing, recording, and mixing include David Caspar, Iuri, Moonpools, Don't Kill The Beast, Mastergrief, Evelinn Trouble, Pina Palau, Keiran Fence, and Luna Oku among others. You can now find all my work online. I post recent updates on my Instagram.
