Recording Studio |  MATT PAKUCKO STUDIOS
"Working with Matt is like working with an expert friend who shares your passionMatt has a keen ear and savvy engineering skills, bolstered by his commitment to his craft.  And he's a really nice guy!  We felt right at home the whole time, and look forward to recording our next project with Matt...after he's finished producing our first!"  - JF  

"Classic, history proven, organic hit-making fundamentals along with modern technological wizardry are the essential elements that make each song, the singer and the performance immediately engaging to the listener and to the Artists themselves.  I prefer to work more with the music and the person, and less with the grid and the typewriter, and I give each Artist whatever they need, from a gentle nudge to a solid kick in the pants, to get the best art they have in them OUT, into their recordings and into the world. "  - Matt Pakucko
