A full albummade together from start to finish

Your full world in one album — we see it through to the end.

15-year music producer & A&R

Producer Hwang Kyungha

I work with indie singer-songwriters and bands on their releases. From shaping the song to getting it onto Spotify and Apple Music, connecting session players, and reaching press and critics — for a song to reach listeners and the press, all these steps have to fit together.

A successful release is hard to pull off alone. So my job is to be the companion who walks the whole way with you.

Who this is for

Want to capture your full artistic world in one work

Want your work remembered by critics and listeners

Looking to reach critics and media in earnest

Want to use grants or crowdfunding to structure the budget

If you haven't released a single yet, we recommend starting there. It's a stronger foundation.

What we focus on for your full album

A full album is a battle of quality and time.

Depth of A&R & song selection

We judge together which songs belong on the album and which don't. The full arc of the album is decided here.

Full arc & sequence design

We design the journey from track 1 to the last so the whole album tells one story.

Critics PR & listening session

Critics pathway refined across 70+ releases — including Kang Ho-jung and Samgakjeonpasa. We organize a pre-release listening session for critics — only possible with a full album. Recognition through reviews is the goal.

Funding the budget — crowdfunding & grants

We have planned and run dozens of album crowdfunding campaigns (roughly ₩300M raised in total). We can build your Studio NOL Funding page end to end, or work out a grant application direction with you.

The journey to release

For an 8-track album, we usually design a 6-12 month timeline based on song readiness.

After consultation

Song readiness & scope check

We first review candidate tracks, demo readiness, session scale, budget, and target release date.

1 month

A&R & Track List

We design which songs belong on the album and what kind of record it will be.

1-3 months

Concept & Arrangement Design

We finalize the album concept, track order, and each song's arrangement scope.

3-6 months

Arrangement, Sessions & Recording

We connect the needed sessions and focus on vocal and instrumental recording.

5-8 months

Mixing & Album Tone

We shape the whole record so multiple songs feel like one album.

8-10 months

Mastering & Artwork

We prepare mastering, cover artwork, and distribution assets.

10-12 months

Lead Single, Album Release & PR

If useful, we release a lead single first, then continue into the full album release and critics/media PR.

What artists who worked with us say

Voices from artists whose releases are complete.

“It's not just a recording studio; they deeply understand the artist's intent and guide you to your desired musical direction. Even though it was my first album, the result was better than I imagined.”

Kim *JunMusic Production

“They have an excellent ability to materialize abstract ideas into sound. Communication during mixing was great, and I got chills hearing the sound I only imagined. They balance artist stubbornness and mass appeal very well.”

Park *HyunMixing & Mastering

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions before you consult.

For an 8-track album, if the songs and demos are ready, 6-8 months can be realistic. If song selection, arrangement, session recording, lead singles, and critics/media PR all need to be designed from scratch, 9-12 months is more realistic. We review song readiness and target release date first in consultation.

Yes. For crowdfunding we handle the campaign end to end — page planning, storytelling, reward structure and the page build itself — the same way we ran dozens of album campaigns totalling roughly ₩300M. For arts council and regional grant programs we work out the application direction with you. Grant outcomes, however, cannot be guaranteed.

Yes, varying by session lineup, track count, and arrangement scope. Cover artwork, music video, extra session musicians, physical release production, etc. are separate. We give a full custom quote after understanding the complete scope in consultation. No hidden costs.

We can't guarantee that. A full album's value lies less in chart rankings than in how critics and the press receive it, and the standing it earns among fellow musicians. We'll open that process together.

Absolutely. A second album is about the narrative thread connecting it to the first and showing growth. We design the direction for a better second album by referencing your previous work.
