Your first single,done right from the start

We guide every step of your release journey.

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.

Releases produced: 70+

Who this is for

If you're already thinking EP or full album scale, check those pages too.

What we focus on for your single

One track means we can go deeper.

Full focus on one track

With just one song, every bit of energy goes into it. Arrangement and sound direction are optimized for that single track.

Defining your first impression

The moment you first introduce your name to listeners and the press. We think together from the planning stage about what impression you want to make.

A realistic first step

The goal is to actually get to release, not perfection. Starting is more important than being perfect.

Your first media touchpoint

We send your press release through the music-media network we've built over 15 years, and pitch overseas outlets, radio, and playlist curators too. From your very first release, we connect you with press and curators at home and abroad.

The journey to release

Depending on the song's current state, we usually set a realistic 6-12 week timeline.

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.

If the song is already prepared, a 6-8 week release is possible. If arrangement, session recording, cover artwork, or distribution review scope grows, 10-12 weeks is safer. In the free consultation, we review your current files and target release date first.

Vocal recording and mixing are the base, with session coordination, arrangement, mastering, distribution, and media PR added as scope grows. This isn't simple studio rental — it's the cost of accompanying you through the whole release process. Varies by session lineup and arrangement scope; we'll give a custom quote after consultation. Session musician fees are not part of the bundle — we pass through only what the musicians are paid, with no booking fee.

Yes. You can use it simply to hand off recording, mixing and mastering in one go. If you skip distribution and release PR the price stays ₩500K, which is below the ₩550K total for ordering vocal recording, mixing and mastering separately. Detailed vocal tuning and timing correction is an optional +₩150K per song; session musician fees and arrangement are not included.

Artistic direction always stays with you. Arrangement and mixing are proposed and discussed, not imposed. If you don't like something, we talk it through.

We can't guarantee reviews. But we send press releases through a 15-year media network, and if there's interest, we work to convert it into a review. My job is to open the pathway, not guarantee the outcome.
