Live Room, Arlington VA

The Pajama Room is my personal studio for tracking, mixing and producing music.  Set out to be a comfortable and professional place to foster creativity through music, it can easily accommodate a full band, producer and lyricist, or independent singer-songwriters.  

Creating quality recordings has never been easy.  Add in the pressures of time and budget, and the prospect can become discouraging very quickly. The Pajama Room seeks to provide an environment where the artist is relaxed, focused  and best able to perform their work.  Using the finest equipment and tested techniques ensures satisfaction with process and product.  Also, with the current market of boutique rental gear and high quality recording platforms, it is easier than ever to acquire the very best professional equipment for a minimal cost.

The Pajama Room can accommodate projects large and small, and will work with you to put together recording packages that tailor to your budget and vision.

Check out the studio on Myspace for updates and recording samples.
