Successful recording studios stock up on more than quality equipment and good vibes. They offer clients a collection of professional services to help launch their career.

As more and more artists opt for independence from record labels, they need recording studios’ full support to sound their best. 

Add Services

Upcharge for creative and technical support, like one-on-one coaching or post-production services. Your rates should depend on the studio's reputation, equipment, and the caliber of your expert staff. Offering “add-ons” like songwriting and arranging is an upsell for you, which can also help artists meet their deadlines. Win-win.

The fact that your studio is willing to invest time in the quality of clients’ music is priceless. It shows that you’re invested in their career, which can inspire them to work with you again. Offering career support lets you make deeper connections with your artists, helping you make more money long-term.

Try hosting educational events or workshops. Or consider launching courses on music production, songwriting, or related skills. Consulting, reputation management and marketing services can also help artists build their careers.

Besides a recording space, what can your studio offer to help clients launch their music careers?
