Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Like many creative businesses starting during the COVID era, Uncertainty was high, and starting a recording studio in the middle of a shutdown tested both patience and persistence. But instead of stopping the vision, it forced a deeper focus on building something sustainable from scratch.
In 2024 a tree fell on the studio roof, destroying half the building forcing a complete rebuild of the recording space. Instead of walking away, the entire studio was rebuilt again, piece by piece. That process of rebuilding became part of the identity of Lost Ave
