Local Legend Recording

★ 5 · Theo Ndawillie II

As a musician who's lived and worked in some of the most competitive spaces in the world, from New York city to Los Angeles, I can say it is rare to find a recording space of this caliber. Local Legend Recording is custom built, maintained and run by Josh K., one of the most knowledgeable professional, personable, easy-to-work-with guys and one of the most skilled audio engineers / producers I've known throughout my life-long music career. Truly state-of-the-art equipment, setup/design, an incredibly inviting, comfortable space, and a truly inspiring space that fosters creativity, collaboration, and community on a level that's hard to match anywhere in the world.

This studio building with its famous huge room was redeveloped from a 100 year old warehouse and offices, newly constructed in 2020 and opened this year. Josh Kaufman (Brian Setzer), one of the most talented mastering producers in the midwest United States, has plotted his new HQ about 2 miles from downtown Grand Rapids, MI and my first few experiences there have been world class. His huge room is ideal for recording acoustic music, vocals, piano, guitar, horns, harp, choir, orchestra, chamber music, jazz, folk, etc. Vocals get an extra lift from the dynamics of this pristine space. Luxurious, human, sonically high end, and comfortable while being ultra modern.

Best recording studio in the area - beautiful live room with high ceilings, grand piano and incredible mic options. Josh is a masterful producer with quick turnarounds. Couldn't be more pleased with what we've created here!
