In Dave’s words

“If I’m really, really honest about what we’re building, The Studio is just like a creative, zany place. I’m kind of a zany person, and it has all these characters in it, and all these characters are singing songs and making videos. So it’s basically the Studio Universe. The vision is more ambitious than just making a record label — an entire universe with musicals, a whole story, people, entertainment, good messaging — that would be really fun. So let’s just keep building The Studio in an authentic way, even if it confuses people.”
Dave, 1:41 in the morning, saying the quiet part out loud

The creator

Dave, in the corner, typing.

Every character, every song, every video starts here: one zany person with a laptop. Musicals, stories, good messaging, and real fun. All of it in the open.

How we help

Built to lift people up.

Everything we make is designed to help someone: the artist grinding in a bedroom studio, the founder on day one, the curious human who wants to learn.
