What our clients are saying:

Hidden Creek Music is legitimately the best. They dedicate themselves to making top quality music production and mixing / mastering accessible to a wider group of people. I’ve been working on my first song with the team- Kevin (studio engineer), Taylor (producer), and Sarah (studio assistant and harmony EXPERT!)- and have been so surprised and appreciative of the way they simultaneously listen to my direction for the song and allow me to be in the driver’s seat while providing all of their musical genius and expertise to make the song reach another level. I honestly can’t state how insane their final products are- this team is the real deal. They are genuinely fueled by their passion for music and wanting others to be able to channel their own passion for music into songs. I would definitely recommend that anyone who is even remotely curious about the process- even if they have never recorded in a studio before, like me- to schedule a studio tour and meeting with them to understand how great they are for themselves!

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 knowledgable 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.

Hidden Creek is an incredible studio filled with warm energy! Kevin is passionate about what he does and that reflects in this studio and the recording product. He is very welcoming, helpful, organized and talented. This space gives the opportunity for artists to feel comfortable and inspired while creating their art. I definitely recommend Hidden Creek Music.
— Julz L.
I’ve been writing and recording music for many years. I’ve had those opportunity at several big name studios and a ton of ‘’I’m underfunded and just need to get by.’’ It’s rare when all the things you hope for in a recording situation come together. The environment, equipment, engineer and cost...they very rarely come together and give you all you need to make your Art come alive. I’ve recorded at HCM several time. As a player and a writer/producer the things that keeps me coming back are, I always leave with much much more than what I walked in with. Something you can share and be proud of. That’s MAGIC. Dip your toes in the waters of life at the Hidden Creek Studio and very soon... you’ll want to dive in.
— Mark N.
Incredibly creative and safe environment. It’s so nice working with an great engineer without an ego. Kevin never wants to stand in the way of your creativity. He has become my friend through the process of two albums and several small projects. Adjustments to songs for future requirements are very fast. His competency makes him cheaper to work with. The tracks are almost mixed as you go. I was able to record Live drums and bass simultaneously on my band album. I would recommend this studio to anyone for any recording need. He just moved to a bigger space that takes this studio to a whole new level.
— Ridge B.
I have been working on an EP project at Hidden Creek Music and I can say that I’ve never had a more positive and productive sessions with anyone other than Kevin here in Nashville. The vibe in his studio is creative, easy, and fun. If you combine all of that with his gift of perfectly capturing each instrument and vocal performance, you will be extremely happy with your project results. Hidden Creek will treat your music respectfully and with the utmost care; almost as if it were their own. A good friend recommended this studio to me and little did I know that I was walking into what would be my new studio home! Hear your next single or album project come to life and exceed your expectations at Hidden Creek Music. I promise you that you will not be sorry.
