I'd like to officially announce that my time with Nanaimo is coming to a close in what would be one of the most impactful 3 years of my life.

I'll be closing the doors to this beautiful place as soon as a new tenant takes over, and I'm hoping that they don't feel the need to gut this place. Would be awesome if someone kept it going as a creative space even.

The last place in the world I wanted to be, of course became the place I had to bed down in, for what will be the longest I've ever lived in one place my entire life.

I'll be forever grateful for the lessons this place has taught me and feel like I've truly been awakened to many of the things I couldn't bare prior to it.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do, or where exactly I'm going to go. But I know that I know myself better than I have ever known myself, and believe I can do anything with the right focus and effort.

I had many successes here, and many failures which I will take with me to my next venture.

I can't express how hard I worked, struggled and suffered for this place to stay afloat, but I did it and I'm proud of what I could manage.

I'm incredibly grateful for every single person who walked through the doors, and believed in me to help them with their visions.

I can't say that I made any money (not even close) but I knew that starting a recording studio, in Nanaimo, during one of the worst (if not the worst recession of our generation) was a losing battle financially and I took it on anyway.

But, like I told many people who warned me against it... I'd rather fail at something I love, than succeed at something I don't.

Instead, I succeeded at something I love. Creating art.

I built up a body of work that otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to. And I know, without a doubt, I'll keep pushing myself to be a better engineer, better songwriter, better producer, performer, singer, musician... Until I die.

The end of this chapter, is the beginning of a new one for me and for who ever decides to have courage and do something difficult.

I promise you... the rewards are worth it.

Tracking a couple tunes for this week! Scratch tracks all done and on to drums! Thanks Pat!

Check out the vocal performance of Tyler Barnes (AKA JINX) on this track. We cooked it up right quick to add that extra flavour of what we like to call, quality. Are you tired of being outshined by other MCs or vocalists on collaborations? Is the make shift "vocal booth" you are using not quite cutting it?

Try recording in our professional environment and hear the difference it makes! And with the most affordable rates in town, you won't have to work a full week just to afford it!

DISCLAIMER: The vocals for Jinx were recorded with us at Dream Dream House Studios but everything else was done elsewhere. Bang up job, team!
