OPERATORS of the Studio Ten recording complex in Kingston are banking on an "international feel" to make it the go-to music facility in Jamaica.
The studio opened in January and has attracted top dancehall artistes as well as acts from Belize, Japan and The Netherlands.
Bruce Won Ken is CEO of Studio Ten. He says the studio's name was derived from its location in the Kingston 10 of the Corporate Area.
"When they (artistes, producers) walk in here, they will be able to think and create in a very North American concept," he told Sunday Observer.
Bruce Wong Ken says he went for an "international feel and vibe" when constructing the studio which is located in Half-Way-Tree. It includes a state-of-the-art recording system; The Green Room for still photography and a spacious area which doubles as a conference room and site for music videos.
To date, dancehall artistes such as Beenie Man, T O K, I-Octane and Lukie D have recorded at Studio Ten.
Wong Ken, who operated the Internet radio station reggaejamaica.com from 1999 to 2002, says the studio is not limited to contemporary performers.
"We are opening our doors to the past and future, at the same time creating an environment for the music community to come together and collaborate. Our vision is to help foster the next round of music history," he said.
