What We Do

We like making great records for the people who write them.  Nothing feels better than having something that displays the talents of the band and the studio that recorded it.

planet10studios is comfortable and has a great vibe in which to work and create.  

I want to reconnect a musician with the spirit of creativity that brought them to write a lyric or play an instrument in the first place, but was lost due to the music business nature of lies and false promises.  Taking away those items of destruction that lessoned the musician's passion for music and performance. This is my goal.
