Hidden Creek is a friendly, relaxed, and supportive studio environment, where everything revolves around you and your music.

We believe the real magic in great music comes not from technology, but from the talent and creativity of inspired artists.

What Hidden Creek artists are saying:

I was recently hired to do some session work for an artist at Hidden Creek Music and can’t say enough good things about the experience. The team at Hidden Creek has made a priority out of making artists feel comfortable in their studio, often in subtle and easily overlooked ways, and it really helped bring the best from all of the musicians tracking there. Kevin is an extremely knowledgeable engineer, and has a knack for delivering insightful feedback in an encouraging and collaborative manner, and Sarah was extremely helpful in working with the artist to craft complementary harmonies for the songs parts. Beyond that, the studio is comfortable, clean, loaded with good snacks and drinks for their bands, and the songs we made here ended up sounding fantastic. I’d highly recommend booking a session here, and am eager for my next opportunity to make it back to this studio.
