About Us
“Our goal is to provide a unique experience from when you first step through our doors until your receive the final product or leave the our facility”
Welcome To The Lab
Having just opened in January of 2025, Idio Sound Lab is literally the new kid on the block. And even though they may be new in terms of a facility, by no means are they new to the recording studio business and the music industry as a whole. Owners Justin Hicks and Wes Smith have a combined total of 57 years in the music industry and have all of the experience and expertise needed to operate a premium recording studio.
A Little Bit About the Owners
Initially starting out as friends, Wes and Justin eventually ended up doing a lot of work together as Wes was using Justin’s previous studio (Idio Recording Studio) to record projects for artists that he manages and produces for. But unfortunately the original Idio Studio had to shut down in May of 2024 because the property was being sold. Initially appearing as a major set back for not only Justin and Wes but the entire local music community as a whole. But as fate would have it, this actually ending being a major blessing in disguise as the perfect opportunity would present itself in the form of a collaboration between Espacyo Spaces, Justin & Wes. Which is now the Idio Sound Lab!
