Introduction
🏆 Grammy-Nominated Studio with 150M+ Streams📈🏆 ALL IN ∞ RECORDING🎙️ Experience The Freedom to Create In a Creative Haven That Fuels🔥 Your Musical Journey. Love it , or it's no charge!💸 Guaranteed 🤝 Book A Free Discovery Call With Me ____________ ____________ 🔴 Does this sound familiar? 😑 You’re rushing through takes, watching the clock tick away your creativity. 😑 Hectic studios make you feel like just another booking instead of a valued artist. 😑 You dread hidden studio fees—like paying extra just to get your track mixed and mastered. 😑 You’ve got big, major-label dreams but a budget that’s nowhere near major-label size. ____________ ____________ IT'S TIME FOR A DIFFERENT APPROACH ✅ I’m J Smash, Founder of Smash House Recordings—and I’ve Been Exactly Where You Are. Fifteen years ago, I walked into a studio convinced I could knock out two songs in three hours. I was wrong. I rushed every take and walked away with a rough recording I simply couldn’t afford to finish. Back then, the industry wasn’t nearly as saturated with content. But now, if you leave your tracks unfinished, it's almost impossible to break through all the noise. Over the years, I’ve seen both MAJOR-LABEL artists and indie acts rise to stardom—AND I’ve seen them fail. The difference often comes down to having enough time, guidance, and transparency during the recording process. That’s why I created Smash House Recordings, where you get ALL IN PRICING: 🔥 Mix and Master included! 4 HOURS OF RECORDING TIME 🔥 No more racing the clock! MAJOR LABEL INSIGHT 🔥 We don't sell dreams. We talk real strategy! ____________ ____________ 🎶Recording / Mixing / and Writing Lessons Available🎶 * Audio Production Lessons * 🎸 Guitar for Production * 🎹 Piano for Production * 🎶 Bass for Production * 🥁 Digital Drums in Production * ✍️ Songwriting Lessons * 💻 ProTools Lessons * 🔧 Custom ProTools Template for Your Voice (for the DIY artist. 10x your growth with this one) ⚡ Why Learn From Me? ⚡ I’ve spent **over a decade** in the studio honing my craft, working with major labels, and helping underground artists polish their sound. When you train with me, we’ll dive into the real **“rules” of music**—and I’ll show you how to break them like a pro. That means you’ll learn to shape your tracks into something that **stands out**.

If you’re looking for someone that will push you past what you think, feel or see. Look no further. I’ve had 2 songwriting lessons thus far and I am learning things about myself and my learning style. He is so professional and knowledgeable that it makes writing songs easier than doing it on your own. I would definitely recommend!

One of the Best Engineers in the game right now. I’m so glad that I’m stumbled upon him . I sent him a message around 2 am in the morning and In 15 mins he probably responded. If you want to have your songs quality match up with the top music artists in the industry I promise you J smash gives you that and more. Feel free to communicate and ask him questions because that’s when you truly get the best of the best in J smash!
