Studio NOL Release Project

Your musical identity,declared with an EP

3–5 tracks to define who you are as an artist.
Producer Hwang Kyungha

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 show a wider world after releasing a single
Ready to define your sound clearly across 3–5 tracks
Building a solid fanbase step by step
Want to create a phased launch campaign: lead single → EP

If you only have one track, a single may fit better. If you're thinking 8+ tracks, look at the full album page.

What we focus on for your EP

Connecting multiple tracks into one world is the heart of an EP.

Consistency & sequencing across tracks

Tying multiple songs into one world is the core of an EP. We design track order, pacing, and tone-matching together.

Lead single → EP phased campaign

Release one track first to gauge response, then prepare the rest — building your fanbase step by step.

Defining your artistic identity

What's hard to show with one single becomes clear across an EP. Your distinct musical identity takes shape.

Two rounds of media PR

Lead single + EP release gives you two chances to reach critics and music media through our 15-year indie media network.

The journey to release

For 3-5 tracks, we usually organize the release in 3-6 months.

EP from ~₩1.8M (3-5 tracks)

The 4-track all-in-one package (planning, recording, mixing, mastering, distribution, press) sets the floor. Planning, distribution and press are fixed costs that do not scale with track count, so a 3-track EP starts at the same floor; arrangement depth and extra PR rounds build on top. Session musician fees are not included and are billed at actual cost.

Custom quote after free consultation.

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
