ABOUT
Make Life Studio is an artist owned and operated creative production and recording studio located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn by the Navy Yard. The studios wabi-sabi/lush vibe aesthetic provides the perfect urban escape for audio recording, songwriting sessions, photo & video shoots, podcasts, live streamed events, music rehearsals and more.
Our unique railroad-style suite features a dedicated control room with 16 channel multitrack recording via UA Apollo x8 and vintage Carvin MX1608 mixer, a live room with 5 piece Pearl Master Customs drum kit, and a centrally located lounge/songwriter's nook. Additionally, guests have access to an iso booth with floor to ceiling plant wall and our equipment locker with a curated selection of audio, lighting and production essentials.
Throughout the recording studio, guests will be immersed in exotic plant decor, fully customizable Phillips Hue lighting and hand crafted birch plywood finishings all framed by a Japandi inspired interior.
