Grammys: Studio Pros Gets a Win!

Sometimes there are a lot of artists nominated that I love, and other times my tastes differ from what the general public has been listening to for the last year. When I was a kid, I would root for my favorite artists to clean up at the Grammys and yell at… [Read More]

Featured Artist: Chord Slinger N Lola

Chord Slinger N Lola used Studio Pros as the glue that held together their long-distance musical collaboration.
