This guy is such a full force of good energy . I came to him with an assignment I had for my senior project at Holy Names University that could have been a disaster if I wasnt able to turn it in . I reached out to rich city , I gave him than a 24 hour notice . I explained to him what I needed . Not only was he very professional and business oriented , he gave me real expectations on what to expect and even did some extra editing for my power point video and even posted it while I was in class since I was running out of time . This was my final ! I gave this guy less than 24 hour notice and he

Rich City Studios gives off a chill vibe, you feel right at home. Chuck who is the engineer takes time with your work and listens to whatever you ask of him to do without any hesitation. I recommend this place for any artist looking to get some work done.
