Special Feature
Brian Kraft, Buddy Brundo and Jimi Petulla in Studio C at Conway Recording StudiosLocated in the heart of Hollywood, California, Conway Recording Studios is a legendary recording and post-production facility. This past week Jimi and Brian were lucky enough to spend time with studio owner Buddy Brundo and received a tour of the facility’s Studio A, B, and C, as well as its lush tropical garden space. Located in a 54,000-square-foot gated complex, the studio, designed by legendary architect Vincent Van Haaff, has been home to work from a wide variety of artists, producers and mixers. Recent projects include Taylor Swift (who recorded in studio “C” with GRAMMY® Award winning producer Max Martin) and the upcoming movie Straight Outta Compton. Other clients have included Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, Maroon 5, Elvis Costello and The Roots, Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk, Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, Lady GaGa, Metallica, Michael Jackson, No Doubt, Miley Cyrus, Pink, Prince, Whitney Houston, Cee-Lo Green, Snoop Dogg and many others.   Jimi Petulla, Buddy Brundo and Brian Kraft in the Conway Recording Studios GardenBrian Kraft stated, “Buddy is one of the most interesting individuals we have met in our adventures, and truly an icon in the world of recording. It was a great privilege to hang with him and tour around the facility. We could clearly feel the history of the space and the reverberations of the historic albums and singles recorded there. ‘If these walls could talk,’ I kept thinking. It was a great afternoon, and we can’t wait to come back.”   “It was great meeting Brian and Jimi and hearing about the Recording Connection’s Mentorship program,” stated Buddy Brundo. “The concept of being able to cut your teeth in a real working studio offers a practical, streetwise approach for the recording professionals of tomorrow. I was glad to be exposed to what they are doing, and they are welcome back to Conway any time.”   This visit kicked off the conversation (and a working relationship) between Conway and Recording Connection — stay tuned for big news in the near future!
