Meet the Team

The idea of creating this space emerged from the minds of two visionary musicians: GNZ and LetOutThePressure. What sets us apart from other studios is our desire to push boundaries in record production and highlight the importance of artist development. We champion bold, new sounds and celebrate individuality. We understand the importance of bringing out the distinct, fierce qualities of every artist who steps into our lair. Every musician has their own origin story, and capturing that essence in their tracks is crucial. We don’t just hit the record button; we ensure that every creative who works with us walks out with a record that uncovers the full potential they had within them all along.

  • Chief Engineer, Producer, Guitarist

    Inigo Gonzalez, professionally known as GNZ, is a New York-based music producer originally from Manila, Philippines. His musical journey began at just eight years old with a guitar in hand, igniting a passion that has driven his career ever since. By the age of 13, GNZ was already transforming voice memo recordings into polished tracks, teaching himself the basics of production using GarageBand on his phone.

    Mentored by esteemed Filipino producer Jim P, GNZ developed a strong foundation in his craft, continually refining his skills. In 2022, he made the ambitious move to New York City to pursue a master’s degree in Songwriting and Production at Berklee College of Music’s NYC campus. Now immersed in Brooklyn's vibrant music scene, GNZ regularly collaborates with artists like Andrea Turk, LetOutThePressure, and BXPOLAR, contributing his unique production style to diverse projects.

    Known for his guitar-driven soundscapes, GNZ pioneers “Club Metal,” a genre-fluid fusion of Hip-Hop, R&B, metal, and experimental club music. Drawing on the pop futurism of Charli XCX, the stadium edge of Madonna and Travis Scott, and the raw intensity of Slipknot, Deftones, and Nirvana, he crafts tracks that feel both polished and visceral, adding a razor-sharp energy to every project he touches.
