Stephen, has recorded 10 songs for me so far, he did all of the recording and mastering of my new song "Whoa", he is great with his ideas and getting you to look at different angles of your song. Steve is my guy and I appreciate him as a producer.

This was the first time our daughter has been in a studio and she had a fantastic experience. Stephen Antonelli was easy to work with and he was so encouraging and shared insight into my daughter's future as a singer. Certainly want to thank him and would recommend Songbuilder Studios!

I have been recording with Steve since 2016 and it has been an amazing experience. He has pushed me to become a better singer and has helped me to acheive much more than I thought I was capable of. His talent and motivation is truly inspiring. His partner in crime, Shea, has been a great addition to my team. She writes incredible songs and has such an upbeat personality. I enjoy every session that I soend at Songbuilders.

I was extremely impressed with my visit to SongBuilder Studios! Stephen Antonelli was extremely knowledgeable about the industry and helped my client and I understand the process in which the studio would use to assist my talent in producing a single. Not only were we able to exhaust every question possible , but Stephen actually allowed my talent to get in the studio and record a sampling, giving him the opportunity to get a feel for being in the studio itself. This is not customary and was very much appreciated! As a talent manager, I absolutely intend to bring my clients to SongBuilder for their

Much more than your average studio. I cannot reccomend Song Builder Studios enough. My band FIVES is recording our EP there and ever single song is better because Steve and Nate know exactly what is best for your music. It's amazing what they can do. If you're serious about your music, you owe it to yourself to record here.
