Summary
My guest today is Craig Parker Adams who in 1997 was lucky enough to take over a historic recording space in Hollywood Ca which would become known as Winslow Ct. Studio. The studio's original history was said to be one of the oldest audio recording studios in the world for film dating back to the early 1900's.
At one time it was an RCA location as well as Columbia but nonetheless by way of doing Craig would eventually become a word of mouth go-to-guy for many diverse artists and top tier session players.
Owning & operating a historic boutique recording studio business in the heart of Hollywood for 20 plus years and working with accomplished artists from all over the world as well as a multitude of industry greats of varying styles ranging all the way from Opera to Punk, Writers & Artists, Producers, Directors Photographers, Editors, Engineers, Thinkers, Healers, Politicians, Actors, Models, Athletes & even Motivational Speakers has brought so much to Craig's studio skills, production & all-around artistic insights.
Thank you to (EYE-An) Ian Brennen for the introduction.
