The name “Anjuna” was inspired by an experience I had a few years ago while backpacking through Goa, a region in India known for its pristine beaches along the Arabian Sea. While staying in Arambol, I caught wind of a weekly hippie flea market that took place each Wednesday in Anjuna, a city 13 miles south. A month into my time in India and eager to try anything new, I decided to rent a moped scoo
ter for my trip down to Anjuna, even though taking a taxi would have been quicker and cost about the same. So, on Wednesday I figured out how to rent and operate a scooter, as well as adapt to the rules-of-the-road in India. Driving down the coast to Anjuna, easing between the traffic of small towns and empty patches of highway, was a very powerful experience; I walked away with a new perspective on and confidence in taking risks. In April of 2015, I made the decision to leave a full-time job in order to devote my time and energy to blending my career and passion: recording and mixing music. It was a career move I’d been working towards for over a decade, and what I learned during my day-trip to Anjuna played a major role in that leap. When it came time to pick a name for my studio, the choice felt obvious.
